I wouldn't recommend adding any additional food to help Simba bulk up - you should just increase the amount of puppy food that he gets each day. You could try increasing by about 25% for two weeks and then judge his body condition using this scoring chart to see if he seems like he is an appropriate weight. If your veterinarian recommended a specific diet for his diarrhea that he is still eating you should check with your veterinarian first to make sure it is okay to increase the amount of food offered or if there is something else he should be fed. Since he is feeling better he should gain weight quickly - don't forget to cut back on food again once he seems like he is back to an ideal weight. http://www.mabcr.org/template/upload_files/PuppyBodyCondChart.pdf
