Sick Husky: throws up and has yellow eyes!

My husky is on a mixture diet where she eats blue buffalo lamb food and raw like fish and duck (uncooked bones and all)
I ran out of her normal food and had to feed her what my mom's dogs eat which is Eukanuba chicken mateinance for adult dogs. She is about to be 2 years old. Immediately after feeding her the food she threw it up still looking like whole pieces of food not chewed up. I gave her some water and she drank it and ran around happily. I went to work and came back and she had thrown up again, this time yellow bile. She was happy and rambunctious still so I gave her more water and some scarmbled eggs and she went to bed. In the morning around 5 am she had thrown up real bad so I cleaned her up and gave her more water no food. To let her stomach settle. I went to work and had my mom keep an eye on her. When I got back she was groggy and lethargic. I noticed her gums were yellow and her eyes (the iris where it is usually blue) was yellowish-green and cloudy. She wasn't "talking" like she usually dies so I gave her water and she threw it up immediately and ignored it.
SO!
I ran her to the vet right away (It has only been a day a half now of these symptoms her eyes JUST turning yellow) The vet took a blood test and her temperature. Everything was fine her white blood cell count was just a little high. She had diareah so the fecal was not very accurate but nothing he could see. He gave her an antibiotic, a shot for naseau, pills for naseau and Cephalexin pills three times a day to fight a bacterial infection (What he thinks it is). She is only allowed to have scrambled eggs and rice and cottage cheese but she still doesn't eat. She refuses water entirely and her eyes are still this ugly green muck colored. Now she has a super dry nose and mucus in eyes.
What should I do?
Should I trust the vet and keep going with the pills or could it be something worse like kidney problems?

I'm really worried. She ignored a cat yesterday entirely which is not at all like her!
Thanks for responding

FINALLY! Her other eye is back to being blue! The vet looked at it and said that it was possibly caused by the antibiotics or that maybe the bacteria was collecting in the eye. He really couldn't say what it was for sure though. She is running around and acting like her spazzy crazy self again just in time for the new year! I'm so relieved she's doing better! Thanks to everyone for all the advice. Happy Holidays and Sniper says Aru-woo-woo!!!!

I have a picture up of her now. It was hard to get her to stop moving haha. The picture's kind of dark but you can still see the contrast between her two eyes. Her right one is green and the left is blue. Its still like that right now.

Thats great news. It seems as though your dog is making towards a full recovery. It's so nice to have something to celebrate, just before the holidays. It must be such a relief to you. Phew! Hopefully, your dog's other eye will get back to normal after another day or so. Have a fabulous Christmas - give your dog an extra cuddle from me. Tony x
