So sorry you're going through this. 4k is a lot for lab tests. I'm sure the first thing they did was full blood work? Liver, kidneys and pancreas is fine? Any changes in diet?

Has he been evaluated for Cushing's? Your boy checks several boxes with the exception of weight loss which is not usually associated with Cushings. The recurrent infections could be due to a compromised immune system due to some other issue. I would have him see a internal medicine Vet. In the mean time supplement his food with something like Probiotic Miracle.
What food are you feeding? Have you tried changing foods? Are you giving him any treats...and what kind?
