Hi Lisa, 
What happens if he eats more than one cup of food at a time? Any 
vomiting or regurgitation of food or water? You say you have monitored 
this.  Is it that he won't eat more than a cup at a time?  If he does vomit 
when eating larger amounts, I would have the vet take a chest x-ray to 
check for megaesophagus. The other possibility is that he was free fed 
and only eats small portions at one time.  It also may just be that this 
dog had very poor care for a long period and it's going to take a while for 
him to gain and start feeling better.  At age 7 he is considered a senior 
also.  They are much less active as they get older.
