There are ways to train a dog to become less anxious, but I don't even think you'd want to attempt that untill she's much better.

Concerning your other question, low residue means that they can easily digest ever little part, so there is not much work for the digestive system, and I would assume this means smaller poop and less of it.
The road trips cause her stress but she doesn't always get sick. The vet suggested giving her benedryl while we're driving because she gets upset and refuses to sleep no matter what we try. Then she's overtired and doesn't want to eat or play. She's in a carseat that she loves. Canceling the trip or leaving her home are not options.
It makes sense what you're saying about the food altering her pottie routine.
