My dog has chronic liquid poop, farts, and isn't gaining weight. Why?

Question

Hello, my name is Noemi and I have a male dog who is a 1.4 years old. Since he was a puppy he has always pooped too liquidish, it even looks like diarhea sometimes. We have tried everuthing, changing his food, food for allergies, probiotics, antibiotics and nothing seems to work. He poops around six times a day, he doesn't gain much wieght and farts every time he poops. Although he has a great enthusiasm and doesn't seem to be sad I'm worried and desperate to find a solution for his issue. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 1 year and 4 months old | 37 lbs

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Cooper. I am sorry to hear about his problems. Has he had blood work to test his cobalamin and folate levels? These are vitamins used in digestion. He should also be tested for pancreatitis and exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. These can be evaluated on the same blood panel. He should have fecal testing and deworming. If these options do provide a diagnosis, then I recommend an abdominal ultrasound. I hope this information helps!
