I'm thinking she's not pooping because she only recently has been able to keep food down?
That would be my guess. The intestines are probably pretty empty. Even though dogs often poop after they eat, it's not the food they just ate, it could be food from the previous day. Eating just stimulates the intestines, if they are not full, nothing happens. I hope Rio continues to do well. It sounds like he's out of the danger zone; they get so dehydrated when they vomit a lot.
