At this time he cannot even stand on his own. If we stand him up and let go he falls over. He has been paicng a lot and he was at the vet this past Monday, the 11th. He also does not want to eat or drink.

White. My husband was finally able to get him to lay down. He hasn't slept in the last few days. My daughter was with im this morning and was also able to get him to lay down. Is sleepp the best thing for him right now? He has been stumling fr the last few days and falling over and has been using objects to hold himself up when we can get him to stand at all.

any vomiting?
this week I have ben working too many hours and I'm tired, this will be the last for tonight.
can you take him to the vet if you could late at night? no sleep or food/water ha! sounds like me ,for 2 days, If you could I would take him to see the Vet A.S.A.P.
It's hard for me to explain but look this up on the internet and let me know if this could be simular to what your describing. Now I'm Not saying this is it,only your vet with an exam & blood work will have a better diagnostic answer. but this is somthing to look at:
Idiopathic Vestibular Disease
