What you need to do is take her to a professional, a.k.a. in this case,
a friggin physician.

Unless it's been a two day thing, anything more than than warrants blood
and stool tests, along with a good history and physical.

Runs can be range from a simple case of bowel upset, to the beginning of
something very serious; surgical abdomen, inflammatory bowel disease, et
cetera. A NG is not a place for your questions, if the problem has been
there for a while.
