Poor pup! That can be an indication of a medical problem, such as intestinal worms, diabetes, kidney disease, and cancer among others. I would have your dog seen by a vet as soon as possible for a physical exam, blood tests, and urinalysis. Using these tests, the vet can diagnose what is causing the weight loss despite being fed and can discuss treatment options with you.
