That is unfortunately a very bad sign, if she is suffering from neurological damage that is affecting the ability to pass stools then her prognosis will be very bad. you need to ask your vet regarding her pelvic, if it is fractured then this could be the cause of her not being able to pass stools and this will need to be repaired surgically ASAP.
