Unhappy Chronic Diarrhea solved with Metronidazole

Newish Yorkie Dad worried over his two littermate boys now at 6 months of age. for the past month, my little boys have been having explosive Diarrhea and uncontrolled mucus type poop which is causing them and me big concern as they are fully house trained already

My Vet has prescribed the antibiotic now three times which absolutely cures the issue within 8 hours of the first treatment. After we run the 10-day program with the meds I wait another 24-30 hours and it's back. Now i am on my third script for another 10 days and need to find a more thorough diagnosis. The excrement sample has been through the lab and they found nothing twice on different occasions.

Please help me decide what things i can do to help them stabilize into a normal drug free life again

Environment:
I have them on Royal Canine - developmental puppy food since i got them 4 months ago and no issues until the last month.

Two weeks ago, I removed all live plants from my house as they were starting to pluck leaves from my Hoya plant, Christmas Cactus & fiscus (which i already looked up as not the greatest thing to have around)

I walk them daily (2-5 miles worth) and do not allow them to drink, eat or chew anything for past two weeks unless it comes from my dish and water bottle.

no chew digestible’ s for past two weeks and holding.

*on the drugs, they every bit as joyful as you'd expect running playing and all the things they normally do, appetite is always good on the meds. Once diarrhea starts appetite drops off and playing slows to a crawl

Any ideas you might have from experience is appreciated!

Thanks again
