Poor Hobbes! That was naughty of him to eat that sock, and it's possible that's the cause of his constipation. He should see a vet in the morning, but tonight I would give him plenty of water, give him canned food to get extra moisture into him, and mix in a teaspoon of canned pumpkin puree to see if that helps.
