What to expect while puppy is on bland diet and Metronidazole? Howie had diarrhea on and off for about a week. We are in the morning of day two of his antibiotic and blanddiet. How soon should I excpext a normal poop? No poop yesterday (not surprising). This morning three very tiny poops that were a brownish green color. I’m obsessive over his bowels at this point. Want to know how long till I can freak out about no normal poops. Also he is his normal fun self besides the bowel situation.

The medication and bland diet don't work immediately. You need to give him a good 4-5 days on the medication before you can say it is or is not helping. Give it a bit more time. You don't need to freak out! He will be OK :)
