Xanadu1, most vets cannot detect Entamoebaisis by doing fecals. They are mostly looking for worms, and larger parasites. I have a female who had stopped eating, had bad diarrhea, and was just starting to lose weight. I took her to the vet and the fecal came back clean. I knew something was still wrong, so I mixed my own batch of flagyl (don't do this unless you can do the correct calculations to find the proper dosage for their weights). After giving her a full treatment of flagyl, her diarrhea went away, and she has gained about 10 grams. Vets don't always catch the problem, so trust your instincts. (If you ask a vet they will probably prescribe you some oral flagyl, even if it's just as a preventative.)
Sorry you lost your little guy. He was quite the looker!
