If your veterinarian cannot find any obvious cause, you may try changing the diet. You have a few options such as a low residue diet like Royal Canin high energy puppy. You may also try a hydrolyzed diet such as Royal Canin hydrolyzed protein. He will need to eat this diet for 4 weeks and during that time, he cannot eat anything else. You may also look into a treatment for protozoal parasites. Best of luck.
