Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. I am concerned that it has been going on this long. I am concerned she may have something going on in her abdomen such as a foreign object stuck in her intestines, a systemic infection or disease. I would recommend having her examined by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. Abdominal x-rays and blood testing should be considered to help figure out what is going on. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
