My sick puppy's yellow, infrequent poop on bland diet: Normal?

Question

My puppy is on a rice and cottage cheese diet only because he’s on diarrhea and infection medication. Is normal if he barely poops and is yellow like bright yellow. I’m worry. He has lots of energy and acts normal. After his shot he got “sick” that’s why he’s on medicine. He eats and drinks plenty of water. Pet's info: Dog | Goldendoodle | Male | unneutered | 3 months and 7 days old | 50 lbs

His poop is bright yellow b/c of his current diet (just rice and cottage cheese). He should have some protein in there, so I would suggest adding chicken or ground turkey. Also as long as he is not straining to poop, there is no cause for concern for the fewer stools, especially since he isn't eating anything with much substance. As long as he is acting normal, there is no major cause for concern here. Slowly transition him back to his normal diet once your vet says he is good to do so, and his stools should return to normal. Best of luck with your pet Billy moving forward. Take care!
