My 2 year old Cornish Rex Smokey is having great dificulty Defacating. He's been this way for 2 days. I took him to the VET who was too busy to see him, but gave me "LAXATONE" PASTE to give Smokey. I realize that it takes some time for it to work, but He seems to be getting Dehydrated and lithargic. Is there any other means I can do to help him in the interim..(regardless of how unorthidox it may seem) I feel his pain and am Grunting for him.

Optional Information:
Age: 2; Male; Breed: CORNISH REX-MIXED BREED

Already Tried:
LAXATONE
