I am sorry to hear about Luigi. I would wonder if he has some gastric reflux or gastritis going on. I would definitely let your vet know about his behavior, even take a video of him when he is doing this so your vet can observe, and ask if they think a trial of an antacid type medication may be worthwhile.
