I'm assuming you are feeding her a kitten formula, so I would try diluting it a bit with some water to see if that helps her pass feces. If that doesn't help, then yes I would take her back into the vet. Best of luck.

Poor Opal! It sounds like you need to take her in to your vet to have her urine checked for possible infection and have her checked also for possible constipation or diarrhea. Constipation and diarrhea can look the same as animals strain with both conditions. Intestinal parasites in young kittens can present this way, so having your vet check her stool as well would be a good idea. If she is drinking excessively, this could be an indication of a kidney problem and may require blood work. I would take her in to see what tests, if any, need to be done on her and what course of treatment will get her back on track as soon as possible.
