Get her to thedoctor: If her stools are hard and pebbly like rabbits stool you could try some prune juice or milk of magnesia (magnesium hydroxide) until you can talk to her pediatrician.

Get her going: Get her going my using MiraLAX (polyethylene glycol) or milk of magnesia, and fiber. Too much dairy can be cobstipating . Sometimes young children can get into a pattern of constipation and not going because it hurts, and then getting more constipated. Talk to your doctor about ways to get her going daily so that the cycle can be stopped.
