My 14 year old cat was diagnosed with Hepatic Lipidosis on Monday. He has been doing well with the medication he has been taking Metoclopramide and Nutrients Cal to stimulate his appetite. He has been eating well on his own. I noticed toward he has bloating in his tummy that wasn't there on Monday. He hasn't been urinating and defactating properly and I'm curious if its the medication and stress/anxiety that hes been having as a result. My vet said it could be a tumor and to have him xrayed

Yes, an x-ray would be good but it could be the medications. He may not be using the bathroom well because he hadn't been eating well for the few days prior. I would suggest you put him on a probiotic to help balance the GI flora and get the xray scheduled. https://worldtails.securevetsource.com/itemView/view/198944_HomeDelivery.pml?productId=111443
