I'm sorry to hear that you're having this problem with Blackie! It really depends on how severe his constipation is, and whether this is a chronic problem or something that just happened. Normally, constipation can be treated in cats and does not require euthanasia. I would recommend asking your veterinarian what the recommended next step would be (possibly a laxative like lactulose or Miralax, or a manual enema under sedation) if he is still not able to poop at that time.
