Default Poopie Question (sorry, a little TMI)

Perhaps someone out there can help me here.

A little history: I took Pinot to the vet last week because she had really bad diarrhea (we're talking 10x in a 24 hour period). They gave her a shot of penicillin and then an oral antibiotic (bactrim) for a week. We completed the antibiotics on this Tuesday. She is totally energetic, eating and drinking (pedealyte and water). I was making her chicken and rice and eggs while she was sick and giving her a multi vitamin as well as the Nutri-Cal (still am). I am now switching her over to puppy food (hard).

OK so this is my concern/question: her poops are still not firm! They are like soft serve not tootsie rolls. She doesn't have the diarrhea any more and only goes about 2 times a day but I think they should be harder. What do you think? Do yorkies just have soft poo (sorry, I'm new to the world of dogs and yorkies)? Will the hard puppy food firm them up? Given that she looks and is acting 100% healthy, should I be concerned about her poops now?

Thanks for reading and any advice!
