litter box usage stopped after antibiotic

Our 5 year cat had a cut on his leg and began limping. We took him to the vet for a check. The doctor gave him an antibiotic shot to ensure nothing was "too wrong" with the cut. From the time we brought him back from the vet, he stopped using the litter box. The cat is both indoor and outdoor. At first it seemed the antibiotic was either too strong or disagreed with his system because he was having diarrhea and not using the litter box. The 2nd vet visit we were given Forti Flora to help regulate his system. He was on the packets for a week and still not using his litter box. Although he seems b movements seem not to be so runny.

He is a great cat, but I can't continue to have him pooping through out the house and ruining things.

Litter was not an issue, the all happened upon return of the vet and receiving the shot. The vet said he would now like to give him another antibiotic - how will another one help his poor system? What should we do? Any experience with this?
