Laxatives

Mucouse from rectal with no stool

I have had constipation for a week now and I have tried ducolax twice, Metamucil day and night. I also did an enema this morning. Not to much is coming out. I am now excreting only a yellow orangish mucus. What would cause this?? I am still very constipated.
