Edit: Pine....
Are his scales pine coning? That would be a sure sign of dropsy .
In which case, if it's progressed that far, I hate to say it, but your fish is probably a lost cause .
That doesn't sound like constipation to me, that sounds like dropsy.

So a few days ago I noticed my betta had a rather large round belly and wasn't eating much. I was devastated and thought maybe he had parasites or something so I treated my tank for internal and external parasites.

Hi everyone. I treated a betta with dropsy for a week, and the swelling was reduced. He is also behaving like he used to, begging for food and swimming a little more. However, he still looks a little pinneconed. I was wondering...

That's why its common practice to soak freeze dried foods before feeding them .
If you want to feed treats look into frozen or freeze dried blood worms or shrimps .
Overall not good.
It's also high in sodium and expands in their stomachs .

If it does not go away in a day or two, he may be constipated.
Goes away before feeding him again.
