Chinchilla constipated/ill

I have a year and a half old chinchilla I bred from a resucued pair I got from two different people. The day before yesterday I realized he wasn't acting normal, ie; sluggish when he is normally very active, not accepting treats or affection, and was not producing waste at playtime. I immediately took him to the vet for fear of gastrointestinal stasis. Before he went I ground up pellets and was force feeding him a gruel type mixture that he would only peck at. The vet said there didnt seem to be a blockage, and his bladder was empty. She didnt want to stress him by taking x-rays and sent me home with critical care and a few syringes of stool softner. I have been up for two nights and days syringe feeding him critical care, water and giving him the stool softner every eight hours but to no avail he will not produce droppings. My husbnad went to the store and bought some apple baby food and I gave him some of that as well. Is there anything else I can do? I am so upset.:cry3:
