Hi,
For constipation, you should change her diet. Offer her plenty of water. Add 1 bowel of salad and fruit to her diet. Give 1 cup of papaya daily. Avoid chocolate, biscuits, breads, and maida in her diet. Give per rectal enema to her. You cannot give Dulcolax suppository every alternate day.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
