Cat with constipation and vomiting

My cat has constipation, I believe. She hasn't passed any stool since morning as per her routine to do so every morning.
I gave her some yogurt mixed with milk and sugar to loosen her stomach after which she puked the second time. She puked cat food the first time. I gave her yogurt mixed with milk and sugar which was wrong on my part as the online vet told me dairy products make it worse. After she took it she started sneezing and coughing and then puked a lump of stool. That’s when I contacted the vet from my insta friends. I tried rubbing her ******* with a cloth and Luke warm water but she dint like it and ran away. I also dabbed a bit of olive oil on her paw so she'd lick it up which she just did.
By the time vet replied I had applied a bit of olive oil on her paw so she’d lick them to ease her pain. She did so and I removed the yogurt. She passed stool a tad bit and started sneezing badly with goey liquid all over my hands and the floor. Then she puked two lumps of stool. The vet doesn’t open till Monday, due to a religious occasion. I am panicking. What do I do???

hi, I really think you are mistaken about bringing up the stools, this sounds to me very much like hairballs...these hairballs take the long cylinder shape of the bowel they were lodged in and appear dark and smelly much like a stool. stop giving her all the products...especially any sugar, sugar is really bad for cats. a tiny bit of Oliver Oil or plain Yogurt is ok. cats do not necessarily have a bowel movement every single day...I think you just need to stop the products and keep an eye on her for  a few days, I really do not believe she is constipated...right now she is vomiting from all the stuff you have been giving her
