Hairballs and other obstructions very often do not show on xray. I
would start dosing her really well with laxatone or petromalt. If it
is a hairball that might help her pass it on her own. If she stops
pooping completely or this goes on after a couple days of laxatone,
get her back to the vet. Blockages are life threatening, not just
uncomfortable. I think I would give the vet a heads up now, that
there has been no improvement in three days of antibiotic.
