Last night I noticed my 5 month old weaned heifer calf was trying to poop but could not. I put her in a stall by herself overnight to keep an eye on her and this morning there was poop in the stall and she seemed like she was not straining to go like she was last night. I have not changed her diet at all. I took her temperature last night and it was normal. Is there something I should give her if she seems like she is straining when I get home tonight (besides probably calling my vet)? Any suggestions would be great. Thank you.
 
Also, make sure she has plenty of water. Dehydration will make the poop hard.
