What is her usual regularity? Eating? She should be drinking about 1 liter to 40 oz a day and have greens like kale and sweet potatoes. Could try prune juice 4 oz 2-3 times in one day ( if not allergic).Would also call the doctor's office as even when closed they have someone on call or go to Urgent care /ER if still no poop..
