Hello Anita -  I am not sure if you and your vet have been able to confirm if Teller is dealing with Pancreatitis or not, but here are a couple links to a site that discusses diets for that condition.  Please keep us posted on how he is doing.

Hello Becky,

Thank you for the links, i will read them.

I must tell that when Teller has a day that is not his normale routine his poops get worser. At such a day he plays more outside and then it get some worser. But the next day when everything is a normal routine his poops are good. Perhabs i must try it to give him no enzymes for one or two days to see how he will do, but it is difficult, you wan't to get him stable.Gaining weight isn't still working he stays almost at the same weight.

I will keep you posted.

Hi Anita

Sometimes excersise can make the poop go softer my dog can be strange if we walk at a different time she manages to go 3 times a day instead of 2.

You should talk to your vet perhaps about running the tests for pancreatiis because we only think it may be it could be that he may have other issues that are responsible for not gaing weight..
