YAY!!!
When Smokey came to us he was 7.6 lbs... now he hasn't grown at all longer or taller and he's HUGE. He now weighs 14 lbs. The reason he lost so much weight is because he couldn't be left alone without something or someone because he'd get sick. As soon as we gated him in a bathroom or crated him, he'd have diaherria. I would check for signs of anxiety, or like someone else said, worms. I would take him to the vet ASAP for a wellness checkup.
To help Smokey gained weight, I gave him an extra meal of wet food a day. Someone also suggested to me, giving him puppy food since it is more fattening usually.
Good luck with your new little guy!
