Hello Everyone, I’ll just jump right into it!

I have a cat who was recently diagnosed with diabetes, she’s 15, and we took her to the vet and she was diagnosed about a month ago after I noticed she was peeing outside her box.
She is on Senvelgo and currently managing her diabetes well but her UTI which was also present at the time of her diagnosis never went away and when I did a second urine test (vet gave it to me) on her when I noticed her frequently peeing outside the box again, we caught her uti was still bothering her. She’s been on amoxicillin 100mg one pill split in half, twice a day (so one pill everyday) as directed to us by the vet. The course is 10 days long.She’s been on this medication for around 7 days now, however she still has not stopped peeing outside the box. She poops in the box, and will occasionally pee inside either of the two boxes that we placed in the areas she would frequently pee in but still neglects them to go by the box.
I have ordered two new boxes, to replace our previous ones. I clean the floors with an enzyme cleaner everyday, replace the pee pads around the box, and clean the boxes everyday.
She will go in the box, just not all the time so unsure if it’s behavioral now, like if she has a fear of the box because of the uti. Both boxes are low entry and so are the new ones i’ve ordered. We have other cats in the home, however we have an automatic box+1 extra. So that’s four boxes for 3 cats.

Our vet says that we can try an anti-anxiety medication after this, but i’m just curious if anyone’s had similar issues with their diabetic cats? I’ve tried researching but haven’t found very much in regards to this issue with diabetic cats.

Some previous history- We took her to the vet earlier this year for a similar problem(around february) which our vet diagnosed her with pancreatitis and subsequently prescribed antibiotics and she had since ceased peeing outside the box

She is 15, weighs around 8.4 pounds, she’s just a normal domestic shorthair, and we live in the upper midwest (like minnesota, south dakota, north dakota area)
