Two cats - no poops

Because of the dental, Amber has been on Clavamox since last Sunday. To
prevent diarrhea, I have been adding acidophilus powder to the canned
food. They keep switching food dishes so Tiger was getting the
acidophilus too. For several days now I have not seen any poops in the
litter box. There has been plenty of urine but no poops. What is going
on? They are eating and acting normally otherwise. Vets are all
closed today. I stopped adding the acidophilus this morning and I am
tempted to stop the clavamox. There is only a little bit left.

Are you certain there are no poops or are they soft poops that look like pee
clumps? I would think they would not be acting normal if they weren't
eliminating poop for this long. If there really is no poop get them to a vet
as soon as you can, or at least call one. In the meantime, break apart some
of those clumps to make sure. They may have a bit of loose stool.

Start looking under ALL of your furniture! LOL Perhaps it's time to
have the vet "express the cat's anal gland." This is a heavy massage
technique performed by a qualified person who knows how cats'
intestines are plumbed.

Only Amber is getting the Clavamox so there is no reason for Tiger to
have soft poops. Since I first posted, Amber did have a movement - well
formed. I'm waiting for Tiger now. I stopped the acidolphulis but
Amber is still on the Clavamox.
