A bland diet may result in soft stool with the appearance in the images. You can try transitioning Bear slowly to his regular diet. A good quality large breed puppy food my help put weight on him. Have him examined by your veterinarian if the weight loss persists. Submit a stool sample to diagnose intestinal parasites, bacterial overgrowth, maldigestion or malabsorption disorders. Make sure he isn't getting into anything else, such as bird seed.
