Flush out: Sounds like he may be impacted and this usually responds to a lavage using an over the counter remedy. Enemas don't usually work but can be tried (Fleet disposable , instructions on the box. Most cases require a flush out with Miralax-reconstitute as directed on the label and drink an 8oz glass every 20 min until bowels move. It sometimes takes as much as a gallon of the fluid to do the job.
