Concerned for my cat after move + UTI. Now constipated.

My cat seems to get UTI's from moving. Last year about a month after moving she developed a UTI, her urine would dry white in the litter box, but other than that she had no other symptoms, never peed outside the litter box or going more frequently etc. But it was strange enough that we took her to the vet. She had amoxicillin for 2 weeks and tested positive for a UTI.

We just moved last week, and we noticed the white urine again. She also always has litter/this pus urine stuck to her hind legs when she leaves the litter box and she ends up sitting on things like the bed or a chair and leaving a white-urine mark. So obviously we brought her to the vet at the first sign. They prescribed her amoxicillin again, and we are waiting to get the a sample to test her urine (started the amoxicillin in the mean time). They also wrote a xanax prescription which I haven't filled because I dont agree that she needs it. She generally does pretty well when moving, she never hides, wants to explore everything immediately and has been playing, eating, drinking, sleeping etc like normal. I understand her UTI could still be caused by stress though. S

Im concerned because now she appears to be constipated. Not sure if its the stress of going to the vet as she was urinating and having bowel movements just fine all week after the move until Friday. Also it's been 5 doses and she still isnt showing signs of improvement in her urine, which felt much faster last time. Vet said she had no blockages or pain at the time of check up.

TLDR; My cat has been on Amoxicillin for 3 days (5 doses),for a suspected UTI (urine dries white) and is not showing signs of improvement in litterbox, now she is not pooping.
