I am so very sorry to hear about your kitty. It sounds like she may need to see a specialist if your vet doesn't feel they can make a diagnosis or suggestion. If she had severe spinal trauma unfortunately she may have nerve damage to the nerves that control the anus. An exam by a veterinary neurologist may be needed to evaluate the trauma and they may be able to tell you if any medication may help (sometimes these guys will respond to steroids if we suspect inflammation as a cause) or if there is no hope. In the meantime, you may ask your vet if they think an enema may be helpful or if bulking up the stool with fiber by adding canned pumpkin or psyllium to the diet may help (sometimes if there is some sensation then a larger stool is easier for the cat to poop out because they can actually feel the larger stool in the colon). I wish you the best of luck .
