I'm still gonna have to see another weigh in before I'm convinced he is losing weight.
What did he weigh 4 weeks ago when you started him on raw?
Turbo experienced a small amount of weight loss when we first started raw, and I think I've read of others doing the same, but don't have any specific examples to cite.
He has only lost a little more than a 1/4 lb. in the last 2 weeks. Thats a good dump away from being the same weight.
Plus the move from the shelter and moving to a new, strange home.
He is underweight, though
I agree with Melissa and Connie that a slight swing towards a little more muscle meat may be in order. No quick, drastic changes, though. We don't want to trigger any diarrhea.

It doesn't look like the raw dog poop I'm used to seeing. It seems larger, softer--and there's clearly something fibrous in there. Does he eat the stuffing from a soft toy? I agree that the colored bits look like carrot.
He still goes after horse poop and the electrical fence does not work in winter.
Poop was from last night it has been mild and snowy. But yes his poop are still big but half the size of what it use to be.
Did not got carrot in the last few days, I run out of them and he only get a small bite when I give some to the horses.
Can it stay inside for more then 48hrs?
How much of the horse poop is he eating? That looks to me like poop from a dog that is eating a LOT of grass... or a horse eating a lot of horsey stuff and a dog eating a lot of horse poop...
My dog eats horse poop every day (almost) and his stools are formed--is your dog eating sweet feed by any chance? That seems to be the only thing that gives my farm dog a stool that looks like that.
