With severe weight loss, sometimes it can be tough to get an appetite back. Have you tried a premium canned dog food? Maybe Natures Variety, Evangers? You could even feed homecooked for awhile - like mashed potatoes with some fish or chicken (and add calcium). Give Peanut Butter off of your finger - it has protein and has nice fat content; give cheese too - it has nice caloric content - but not too much, as you don't want to constipate.

This isn't the best quality, but to stimulate the tummy - have you tried the little toddler hot dogs in the little glass jars? Even when Marcel was at his worst (tummy wise), I could get him to eat those. But really, mashed potatoes can also really stimulate the appetite too...
