    I would definitely go for the ultrasound and try to find out what is going on. Last thing I would do is use steroids without there being a reason for the use. Using steroids might also put him back into diabetes so you would just compound the problem.

    I would have more diagnostics done before using s steroid. A GI blood panel might be in order besides the ultrasound. Texas A&Ms GI panel is:
    Serum Trypsin-Like Immunoreactivity (TLI)
    For exocrine pancreatic function testing (i.e to diagnose EPI )

    Serum Cobalamin (Vitamin B12) and Folate
    Test of small intestinal function (not species specific)

    Pancreatic Lipase Immunoreactivity (PLI)
    Test for diagnosis of pancreatitis in dogs and cats (species specific)
