Answer
I would suggest consulting an internal medicine specialist if you are not comfortable with your general practitioner.

But keep in mind, if she has been vomiting, there will not be anything in her system to defecate.

You could try a bland diet such as meat baby food or boiled chicken/rice or prescription diet i/d with a medication called REGLAN (metoclopramide) to see if that helps her vomiting and motility.

Since the barium did pass through that is a good sign.  The motility may be altered from her being sick (maybe from a viral infection? initially) and it could take her a bit of time to get back to normal.  Did she have blood work checked?  If not, you should have her kidney and liver values checked as well as a CBC and electrolytes (make sure the vet ruled out Addison's Disease.)

GOOD LUCK!
