Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Likely from what you are telling me, as well as your pet's age the drs are looking for masses (tumors) in the gastrointestinal tract or otherwise that would be causing Logan to lose so much weight. If your blood work is fine diabetes (one of the more common) has been ruled out and this should also mean your liver and kidney function tests fell within normal limits in your bloods. An ultrasound may be beneficial as well in looking for abdominal masses. I'm sorry you're having this issue with your friend. It sounds as though he is very uncomfortable. My best to you both.
