This dog might have a bowel obstruction, problem with bone or cartilage from the thigh, would be my guess. If she is sicker tomorrow she needs an exam, in my view.
And the gizzards --- I guess I'd feed something else most of the time, add a gizzard or two, see if anyone becomes ill.
I am not a fan, not at all, of raw chicken bought en masse, from commercial sources, to be fed raw. So you need to know that about my post! I do not believe that a dog has any "natural" ju ju to handle ecoli, listeria, salmonella etc and those bugs are really common in commercially grown chicken. Are all the gizzards bad? Probably not. Are some of them coated with bacteria which have the potential to cause food poisoning, even in a dog? I'd bet on it.
Myself, I'd watch the sick one closely --- and I'd probably par-boil those gizzards, just to clean them up. 99% of the good nutrition and safe to eat.
Well I am embarrassed to admit that all the "vomit" that Bear was doing was actually watery runs. She had thrown up clear once. So the red goo, I don't know what that was. But once her poop started to form up a little it was pretty obvious she wasn't vomiting it. Now I inspected her poop spot outside and I don't know how she had such fresh looking poop out there unless the arctic cold was preserving it.
She had a morning appt at the vet but it was obvious by then that she was feeling way better by then so we did not take her. A car ride is extremely stressful for her and makes her vomit and be sick for a long time. I would have liked to know what it was, but not by making her sicker for the day. Today she is back to normal and even back to eating kibble after I kept her on chicken/rice/broth/pumpkin for awhile.

I'm very glad you found out about this. (Even MORE glad that she is better!)
Knowing, or finding out, whether it's vomit or liquid poop or both is really important. (If we don't know, we need to say we don't know when we go to the vet, and try to bring a fresh sample.)
IME (not a health professional), I personally think somewhat different things are more likely to be wrong (although there is considerable overlap) depending on whether there is diarrhea or not. (Also, liquid diarrhea is really something to address immediately, with monitoring of hydration, and almost certainly a fast vet visit.)
I'm so glad she's better, and that she didn't need to have a vet visit!
