Don't give him anything before seeing your Veterinarian.
If you simply try to treat the symptoms, then you won't be able to fix the actual problem, and it will only get worse and give your dog more pain, and cost you more money.
It's also very likely that he's not constipated, but he has a urinary tract infection. When an animal has a UTI, it hurts them to pee, therefore, they pee very shortly, and very akwardly. Many times people will go into a Vet's office thinking that their animal is constipated, but really their animal has a UTI.
This is because, when an animal tries to pee all akwardly with a urinary tract infection, it often looks like they're trying to poo. When nothing comes out for the owner to clean up, the owner often thinks that the dog is constipated.
By going to your Veterinarian, they will be able to correctly diagnose the cause of your dogs problems, and will be able to give you the best prescription for him.
If money is a problem, you should at least call the Vet. By explaining everything, they may be able to save you some money, yet still make your dog feel better. It's always worth a try.
good luck
