It's not uncommon for dogs or puppies to throw up bile. It happens when their stomachs are empty for too long. They usually throw a foamy yellow liquid (bile is yellow), usually in the morning, and then immediately go back to being their happy, normal, active selves. The best thing to do is to feed them something late at night to keep their tummies busy.
In regards to what is 'raw': Many people feel that that commercial dog food is not the healthiest choice for dogs, so they are feeding what is considered to be a more natural diet of raw meat and bones, organs, and vegetables. Some feed only meat and organs and, in place of vegetables, they feed tripe or the entire animal (like a whole rabbit) so the dog gets the vegetable matter that is in the prey's stomach.
You can feed Lily a variety of foods. You can give her a raw chicken thigh (I usually take off the skin) and see how she does with that. Sometimes I feed dogs bits of apple, banana, chunks of cooked sweet potato, canned pumpkin, raw egg yolk and cooked egg white.
