Has the vet done blood tests for thyroid problems, diabetes, viruses etc., in addition to the usual blood panel? Does your dog eat and drink, pee and poop normally? Is he active?

Science diet is not good food, although vets are always pushing it (usually because they sell it). Check out all the info here on the better brands.

yes they have done all blood tests everything came out normal, he is a very active dog his wees are fine but sometimes he does have diorehea

Welcome to the forum. I agree with everything badger said. Please try changing his food to a better quality than Science Diet.

That is alot of weight to lose in one year......maybe your vet is missing something. I would go to a different vet for a second opinion.
