Hornets syndrome can resolve on its own and the cause is not always identified. However it sounds like an ultrasound should be done next along with a UPC ratio to establish where the protein is coming from and to look inside the kidneys and bladder to check for growths or changes in thre architecture. They can also check for Cushings disease or other endocrine problems. It may be worth consulting with a specialist in your area since more advanced testing is needed
