Thanks for the suggestion. That was going to be the very next thing to do
but we both wanted to try to wait until morning so that she'd get care after
the surgery since no one is around at night.

Ask your vet about doing exploratory surgery even if they aren't seeing
anything on barium
or x-rays, foreign body obstructions
can present just like you said, and a good percent don't show up on
any tests.
Doing the surgery while she is still strong is better than waiting too
long.,
