Hello, sorry to hear about Budi. You may gently wipe his rear with a warm cloth to stimulate him to defecate. However, Im concerned that Budi may have something else going on such as FIP, a heavy burden of parasites, or even a viral infection. I would recommend having him re-evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible as he may need emergency care to relieve has abdominal distention. Hope this helps and best of luck.
