I myself wouldn't bathe a dog who was ill - you never know if you are using up whatever reserves they might have left. I just clean the messy part, hand-dry that hair with a dryer or wrap them in a towel and save the dog the upset of a full bath as most dogs really don't like bath-time and it's quite stressful to many of them. If they are wobbly, having recently vomited and had diarrhea, I just wrap them in a towel and head out to the vet ASAP and worry about clean-up later.

It could be the medicine hasn't fully kicked in or she's got complications or it's not a simple GI-tract upset but something else that needs further investigation. She needs to see a vet if she's still vomiting and having diarrhea. Usually when a dog doesn't get any better, there is no charge for a f/up vet visit itself, only charges for tests done or other medications dispensed during that visit.
