Sexual behavior in neutered males is almost invariably
adrenal disorder. It is by no means a death sentence
-- I had a ferret that lived 4 years after being
diagnosed with adrenal disorder (with surgery and
medication). With this type of behavior, I would just
do the surgery, especially while he's young and
healthy, and not spend money on tests.

Buck up - this is a common problem.
Best wises,
