I would suggest you supplement him with a critical care diet like this one. There are many different ways you can mix it up and make it for him. Most cats like the taste. This is a great diet because it is packed with calories and nutrients so they don't have to each much to get the proper amount of calories. ( https://www.amazon.com/s?k=B07ST3L7LH&ref=nb_sb_noss ) You can also try canned tuna, canned chicken and human organic baby foods (meat flavors). You may have to force feed him until he is feeling better. There are many YouTube videos on how to do this. You will need to get some large syringes from your vet or you can get them on Amazon. You need these specific ones with the large tip: ( https://www.amazon.com/s?k=B07VWQLJJY&ref=nb_sb_noss ) If he is truly constipated you can feed cats Miralax powder (humans) mixed in food BUT, I recommend you speak to your vet first before doing this as there may be interactions with the drugs he is taking or if he had some bloodwork abnormalities this may cause a problem. Check with your vet first. Hope this helps. If you have more questions you can always opt for a private consultation where we can chat back and forth. That way you can ask as many questions as you'd like. Best wishes.
