Please help!I have a kitten that will not have a bowel movement.What can I do?

I took him to the vet last friday because he was stiffning up his whole body and balling up in a knot.Well I knew that he had’nt did no.2 in about three days.Well they wanted to do the test for feline luekemia(which turned out neg.).So he still has’nt did no.2 and I’m running out of options.I has tried soapy water enemas,suppositories and mineral oil.What I also want to know is what can a vet do differently than what I’ve already did and how long should I wait before I take him in.I feel like he is slowly dying but vets are high and I’m not rich.But that don’t really matter ’cause I love my baby.And I’ve been told that all of this is stemming from him eating only table food.He won’t eat nothing else.Please help!Ihope some vets or vet assistants answer these too.
By the way;the kitten is about 8 months old.

I’m not sure how old your kitten is, but I do know that very young kittens need to be ‘stimulated’ to have a bowel movement. Their mommies usually do it by licking their behinds, but you could take a damp paper towel and lightly stroke it’s anus. that should bring on a bowel movement. I hope this helps.
Good luck!
