About a month ago my dog Capone which is a 6yr pitbull mix started having some intestinal issues; loose frequent stools. I carried him to his vet he done a fecal test and said he had hook worms so gave him a dewormer followed by doses for me to give him at home. Vet also stated that he felt a lump in his pelvis and he believed it to be an enlarged prostate, recommended me to neuter him. I carried him back a couple days later for the procedure. I picked him up and he was sent home with an antibiotic and the vet said that he should start to feel better in a few days but it could take up to a month for the enlarged prostate to shrink. Well its been 15 days and he is gradually declining. Capone has lost nearly 20lbs since this has started, he will only eat a small amount of fresh boiled chicken in the mornings, he still has frequent loose stools (has even resorted back to going in the house which he hasn't done since a puppy) and most of all he isn't his normal self, I can tell he is hurting. We went back to vet last week and he prescribed some liquid vitamins in hopes of helping him which didn't then I had the vet come in again today. I carried him a fecal sample which was clear, no temp, lunged sounded good, and he felt the lump again which he said appeared to be smaller than when I first bought him in but he said he should be feeling better than what he is. I left Capone at the vet this evening where they will proceed with blood work and xrays but I was just wondering if anyone had any other suggestions for me. I have tried everything so Im desperate
