If you are worried you really need to do whatever testing your vet is recommending. Without all the information about what tests were already run and those results I'm afraid we can't be of much service. There is not enough information for me to go on. If you don't trust what your vet is telling you then you should consider getting a second opinion (in person) with another vet that can examine Eli and can review all his previous testing. I have no idea what they want to test for based on what you have said. Not eating and drinking a lot of water are not specific enough signs to point to one disease or illness. This is likely why they have to keep doing more tests. Unfortunately in medicine sometimes things are not just cut and dry. Sorry I can't be of more help. Either do the test your vet recommends or get a second opinion. That is the best I can tell you for now. Best wishes.
