Olive oil may help. Mix into his food 1 teaspoon per 20lbs body weight once every few days. You can also try feeding canned food (switch gradually if you feed dry), or adding in some plain canned pumpkin (NOT pie filling). If she still has difficulty defecating, have her physically examined by your veterinarian to diagnose any underlying medical causes.
