I would recommend that you have Kiara checked out by the vet. Constipation can be a serious issue in kittens, and she may need an enema, which should only be administered by the vet to avoid tearing the delicate colon tissue. The vet may recommend an x-ray to check for any congenital issues that could lead to the constipation. You can try using a moist rag and squeezing very **gently** on the outside of the bulging anus to try to help remove some of the feces.
