Did the vet offer or did you allow the vet to run bloodwork or perform an abdominal xray or ultrasound? Those are the next step(s) for getting any sort of answer.

I assume, and you may have said, was the dog tested for stomach parasites (worms)?  The sudden increase in appetite and bloating would seem to point to something wrong in the stomach.

Had to second guess a vet that has seen and treated the dog on two visits so I can't offer any other ideas.
