Why isn't my puppy gaining weight and has yellow, unhealthy poop?

Question

Hi, I have a four month old golden doodle. Since I have had her, from ten weeks old, she's grown and gotten taller and eats all of her food but has not been gaining weight. i can feel all her bones. She poops multiple times a day, I think more than she should. Her poop is also yellow. I was suggested to stop her food and give her rice for two days. She's pooping less but her poop still looks unhealthy. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 4 months and 3 days old | 16 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Ginger. It is abnormal for a dog not to gain weight as she grows. I would recommend that she sees her veterinarian for fecal testing and deworming. If this does not resolve her symptoms, I would then try her on a prescription low fat highly digestible diet. Most of the time poor stool quality is related to parasites or diet in young puppies. I hope this information helps!
