Try an enema, then: That is quite a bit of backing-up! at this point, i would try to evaccuate by using a fleet enema, (sodium bisphosphate) follow by using a gentle laxative such as senokot-s or even the miralax-powder, both are otc. Increase fluid, roughage such as fresh leafy veggies/fruits. If this persists, consult doc. Good luck.
