This diarrhea in Bear could be caused by intestinal parasites. Those would keep him from gaining weight and have diarrhea while eating, drinking, and playing. I would recommend taking Bear into the vet in the morning with a sample of his feces. The vet can do a fecal exam to diagnose intestinal worms, and can prescribe a deworming treatment for him.
