Hi Danman,
If she is in fact constipated you can give her 1 teaspoon of canned plain pumpkin twice a day. If you believe that it may be a blockage from swallowing a toy or non-food item, then you will want to treat this a little more aggressively or with a vet. How long has she not been able to poop?
