What kind of shots was the dog getting? His lack of appetite may be related to the shots. The poor dog has had his share of health problems. You might want to consider a second opinion just for your own peace of mind. Get copies of all workup and treatment done by your present vet and take that with you. Your vet should not resent this and may well welcome another opinion since this is a case that is perplexing him. Good luck and let us know how things go. If the dog is eating the Science Diet prescription UD, leave it be. You might also want to post on one of the health or natural feeding boards. People who feed naturally and support holistic treatment may have valuable suggestions for you.

:Can anyone help me?
:I have a 8 year old Brussels Griffon. He has had two operations to remove kidney stones in the past. In the last 2 months he was diagnosed with arthrites and diabetes. After about a month of shots and eating normal, he stoped eating. (He has been eating the same food for 3 years.) The vet dosen't know why and after blood tests and x-rays, they (3 vets) still don't know why. I tried all different types of dog food(soft & dry) and he won't touch it. The only type of food he will eat is Science Diet prescription UD. Does anyone know why he won't touch any other kind of food?
