My oh my, you poor thing!
I have no idea why Pax is behaving in this way after eating,
Perhaps he prefers the home cooked food and who can blame him!
As both dogs had similar GI issues if I remember correctly, perhaps Pax has the same residual GI sensitivities as Pilot?
As you say, you need to see if going back to the blander food suits him and he keeps it down.
I don’t know about the motility issue and wonder why that should appear now. But if the vet thinks that is the problem, I guess you go with the vet solution.
I keep onto this, but I still feel that perhaps either mild nausea or an acidy stomach could be to blame. In that case giving Pepcid for a while may help....but that is for the vet to decide. I thought in humans, Reglan is given to ulcer patients? More frequent and smaller meals might also help??
I don’t know how you are surviving this roller coaster ride with your dogs and the vets. You do need a break.
So I pray Pax is ok with the blander food and if so I would keep with it. If not you have another dog food research project on your hands I am sorry to say.
I wish I could help you more in your quest for GI quiet dogs, but all I can do is to wish you all well soon.
