Heavily constipated calf

Morning, I've got a calf which went down yesterday afternoon with constipation - she previously had an operation on her umbilical. Still on milk replacer but shes outside with a group lightly grazing.

Given her several enema's, and olive oil orally twice (can't find the paraffin). She was up for a few minutes this morning, little bit of milk from the bucket, and after allot of rubbing her bum pooped two small nuggets of poo but still straining before lying down.

I think she needs something more drastic, I'll try the vet Monday if I can get hold of them.

Any other suggestions?

Cheers,
