Her tummy has been getting bigger the last few days and is huge and hard today, she just can't sleep and has got loads of wind. She is on movecol for her constipation already but had two runny napies yesterday and the day before so I held off the movicol on those days. She is unwell anyway with a cough and cold. The little poo she did do was yellow it was with the runny ones to and I''d put it down to having had calpol regularly and because she hadn't been eating much. Should I be doing anything now? She has had two sachets of movecol today but no joy yet.

bump she has dropped off to sleep now but I am worried by how bloated her tummy is I have never seen it so big.

If her tummy is still big I would get her seen today tbh. I dont know much about constipation etc, but imo a hard swollen tum should always be checked by a doc,
Hope poor thing is more comfortable soon

Thank you, it has gone down a bit so I'm going to see how she goes. Se is on steroids and had had extra so I'm wondering if it was some kind of fluid retention too. She has been starving all mornin to the point where its getting a bit weird! Mustn't be feeling too bad to be that hungry though?
