There could be many reasons. I recommend you take your dog in to be checked out by your Veterinarian. Bring in a sample of his feces too to have the Vet check for internal parasites. Are you feeding a good name brand dog food? Don't feed cheap store brands. The main thing is that your dog should have a good check up done by your local Veterinarian.

How do you know when your losing weight?

Apart from reading the scale, there will be plenty of signs that if you are losing weight. Your clothes may feel looser, your appetite may have changed, and your friends may compliment you on your weight loss. Sometimes looking at the scale can be misleading. If you're working out, you're gaining muscle. You be be losing fat, but because muscle weighs more, you might not notice a change on the scale (or you may see that you've gained weight instead of losing it). One way to calculate whether or not you are losing the weight is to measure your abdomen, arms, waist, and legs with a tape measure. Record the numbers every week or so and see if there is any change.
