It could be that his body is still working out the medication and stuff. But white rice really isn't the best thing for him--too much starch, of the bad kind (white rice really isn't that great for people, either). If you want to give him rice, use brown rice instead. It's better for both dogs and humans. It has more fiber and nutrient value in it. The fiber might help to add substance to his stools, absorbing all that water. Do keep feeding him his "regular" dog food, and in time, his bowels should sort themselves out. Keep watching to make sure he is thriving; drinking and urinating. If you have a bathroom scale, you could weigh him to see that he is not losing weight. If he is too big to sit on the scale himself, weigh yourself first, then weigh again while holding him, and subtract the difference to get his weight. It's not the most accurate, but close enough.
