My cat had diarrhea, now no poop. How to help and reintroduce his food?

Question

Hello, My male cat has been on salomn instinct nature variety wet food cans for a few months and oddly just recently started having diaherra, I started giving him small portions of shredded boiled chicken and white rice for about two days, he is urinating, has no diaherra but now has no bowel movement at all. I gave him some benefiber but how much should I give him to help his bm and when do I start adding his old food back into his feeding? Also I usually add a pumpkin fiber supplement.

It's actually normal for cats to not have a bowel movement for a day or two after having diarrhea. It takes some time for enough to build up again to cause a bowel movement. I wouldn't recommend trying any additional home treatments at this point.
