Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Posts like this just make me want to scream!!

You've known the cat hasn't been right for obviously a while now yet you don't call or take the cat to the vet. You apparently knew he was constipated yet you did basically nothing for the poor animal!!

How do you think you'd feel if you couldn't poop for however many days this has been going on?? It's no wonder the cat doesn't want to stand, would YOU!?!?!?

Then when the poor cat is probably near death from a probable blockage emergency (that you created by not taking care of the cat in the first place) of all things what do you do?? You look around on the internet, finally find a pet message board, go throught the time and trouble to register and figure out how to post a message wanting some kind of free easy way to cure the problem you've neglected!!! GRRRRRRR Don't you kinda think at least calling a vet would have been a faster, easier way to get information???? I mean for crying out loud how much can at least a lousy phone call possibly cost huh????

I feel sorry for your cat having to suffer while you've dallied around trying to either fix things yourself or look for a free easy way to solve a medical problem that is obviously very serious!! Given the description of the cat 'falling over' it's very possible you've sentenced that cat to a miserable death from your negligence.

If that isn't cruelty to an animal I don't know what is!
