What food should I give my dog after an enema for constipation?

Question

My dog had an enema today for constipation. I was told no food tonight. Would plain oatmeal for breakfast be better for him than his regular food? Or is there anything else I should feed him? Pet's info: Dog | Pug | 6 years and 2 months old

I would feed him a small amount of his regular food and add a teaspoon of canned pumpkin to his food (not pumpkin pie filling). You also need to make sure he drinks enough water. If he does not appear to drink enough, feed him canned food, but slowly introduce it.
