If your cat is unable to urinate at any time, it should be taken to an emergency vet IMMEDIATELY. Your cat can die within hours of a urinary blockage. If they are unable to pass urine, their kidneys will shut down, their electrolytes will become unbalanced and both of these are life threatening.
As a side note, Clavamox, like most antibiotics can cause diarrhea. Try giving it at meal time. Otherwise, you may need to integrate Flagyl.

I took my cat to the vet and he was diagnosed with a UTI, and he is on Clavamox. The vet said there were no crystals in his urine, but now he is trying and failing to pee in inappropriate places and has diarhea. What should I do?

Hi…

When our cat was 6.5 years old (she is now just over 7 years old) she had both a UTI and FLUTD. Our vet thought it was one or the other but tests revealed she had both problems. It is quite possible that your cat has both as well.

Scotti, your vet can check if FLUTD is the issue by checking your cats urine. They can see if any crystals are present and whether the pH is abnormally high or low. If they did a urine test as part of the initial diagnosis ask them what the results were.
