Hi,
Welcome to the HCM
First of all I would like to know does pain increase in the evening time , does she become so much crancky in the night..If yes then it could be because of wind (gas)in the stomack.
You may first get ultrasound abdomen done to rule out twisted gut ( which seems less likely) or any other cause of pain.Otherwise it is will take at least 6 months to get her intestine mature and without gas.
You may also give her drops colicaid to relieve the pain.
