Vash is Sick and I'm not sure I trust his new vet.

I would certainly look for another vet. Don't even take Vash with you, just go to the office and ask for a tour. Expect to wait as paying clients come first. If they are unwilling to even show you around the place I'd leave. (you might want to call ahead and see when the best time for a tour would be)

Personally, I've found that country vets tend to be cheaper and friendlier than the super busy city vets.

A second opinion is a great thing to ask for, you'd be surprised the number of people who seek them. At the vet's I work at we see usually 1 second opinion client a week or so.

Having multiple vets on your payroll wouldn't hurt either. I have a cardiologist vet, a GP vet, an Eye vet, a reproductive vet, and a cheap I don't wanna pay alot vet(the one I work at since I get 50% off there). On average I end up bringing a dog to the vets once a quarter depending. For the fall I plan on bringing my breeding female at least 3-4 times within a month or so around the time I expect her to go into heat.

This is good news of course, I'm just hoping the medicine isnt masking a more serious underlying issue that comes back once we stop taking it.

The only thing I can think of is a drastic cut in the good bacteria in his gut. If your on Vibrant Pets you might want to increase the amount your giving, if your not on vibrant pets, I'd give him some plain yogurt every day for a week or two to help build up his bacteria count again.

That's what I'm guessing. I do really think it's pretty odd for dogs miles and miles apart to share similar symptoms and treatments for a sickness though.

I tossed the bag of california natural and immediately switched Vash back to wellness though just in case.

I'm glad you switched Vash back to Wellness. I really don't change food brands with Mally, he stays on the same food and his digestive tract does well. Hope Vash continues to get better.
