Has Irritable Bowel Disorder (IBD) been ruled out? Some of the symptoms sound very similar to my ferret Ronan's history. He was diagnosed with IBD through biopsy this fall, and is currently on prednisone. He had the very foul-smelling stool, bacterial overgrowths in his stool, he was overweight and always eating, and had an enlarged spleen. Antibiotics would get his stool under control as long as he was taking them, but within a day of finishing the antibiotic course, he'd be right back where he started. Just a thought...
not a vet,
