Thanks for your reply.
The fleet emena only cleans the bottom area it doesn't reach the hard ball of stool. We are giving the Miralax but so far no luck.

She's not blocked, but very constipated. Go to the local pharmacy and get a Fleet enema, this will clean her out. Then you may want to give her Miralax to keep her going while on vacation. Just don't over-do it with the Miralax, or she will have the opposite problem.
