Sorry to hear Roxy's tummy is bothering her. My concern is that she might have something causing this like a sickness, low bulk diet, foreign body, anal gland issue, dehydration, or even cancer. I would recommend her seeing a veterinarian to rule out any medical condition. If you would like something to try at home first, you could try a bland diet of boiled chicken or hamburger with rice. Add in some canned pumpkin and/or green beans to give her some bulk.
