I am sorry to hear jake is not feeling well. A range of issues can cause loose stool and decreased appetite. I would be concerned about parasites, viral, bacterial, toxin and foreign body ingestion. you can try a bland diet of boiled chicken and white rice but if he is not improving he needs to be seen by a veterinarian.
