Hi, High ammonia levels may suggest she has a liver problem.  Is she is still constipated worthwhile getting a per rectal finger examination done to look for impacted stools, if they are, there need to be manually evacuated aided with enemas and other stool softness like liquid paraffin and other purgatives as per the doctors' advice?  Also ensure she is not on medications causing constipation (some painkillers) and gets adequate HY Chat Doctor.  Hope this answers your query. Wish her a speedy recovery.
