Because you are seeing pain in her rear, constipation and diarrhea, she could have an intestinal blockage, particularly if she is a chewer or a dog who eats bones and other objects that are not digestible.

If you can, you need to find an after hours vet to diagnose this and treat it.

Let me know if you still have questions.

If you suspect that there is an intestinal obstruction, there is nothing that you can do for her at home. You can use a warm water bottle on her tummy to ease any pain that might be coming with this.

Normally for pain I recommend using an aspirin but aspirin has a blood thinning quality so, if surgery is necessary, you don't want the dog to have thin blood. Make sense?
