Tania - I totally understand your concern. From the symptoms you said that he displayed, they seem alot like what Deegan had too. The only thing different is I didn't give Deegan any probiotics until after he was diagnosed. He was losing weight no matter how much or what I fed him, and every bm was like a cow pie. He didn't really pee execively though until after he was on the enzymes, but that's because the emzymes make them thirsty and so he drinks ALOT of water through the day and night. If he's not losing weight and his poops are formed like tootsie rolls, my guess would be that he doens't have it, but I don't know if the probiotics would help without the enzymes cause I'm not a vet.

But if it were me, I would have him tested just for piece of mind. Knowing what test you want them to run shouldn't really cost that much. You can even call your vet and ask them how much a cTLI test would be. The $100 or so would be worth me feeling confident that he doens't have any under lying issues.

Let me know what you decide and if you get him tested.
