Don't worry about the medication so much. Harley had to be on steroids and antibiotics for a few months on and off when he was having problems.
My first priority would be assure bloodwork was done to rule out an infection. Then a fecal sample. I don't have an issue with the amount of drugs, it is a question of what they are prescribing and why... if they're not prescribing the right drugs for the right problem then I'd be concerned.
As for the Hills, Harley was put on it and couldn't stomach it cause it contained chicken. We later realized that he has a nasty chicken allergy, and have realized that the majority of his GI problems were food related, we had to put him on a strict diet to resolve things.
My other advice is, if you don't trust your vet, you may wish to consider finding a new one. I was very uncomfortable with my vet, and wasted a lot of money. I eventually switched and now Harley is 100 times better. He still has issues, but no wheres near as bad.
Keep us posted.
