About the fecal test, vet said everything's normal. nothing to worry about. 

I took him to the vet again last night regarding his sneezing but vet again said everything's normal, but gave Clavamox antibiotics (as precaution)--He's had 2 doses since last night (1 last night, and 1 this morning liquid form)

Since the fecal test 2 days ago, my kitten has not pooped. his stomach seems bloated however. 

what do i do? should i be worried? he's 9 weeks old, has had his first vaccination and deworming with Milbemax. 

he's on wet food (3 times a day; 1tsp each time; half-can a day basically) and dry food (24/7; 1/3 cup daily)

and he's getting fresh water in a large bowl everyday.

He should be pooping if he's eating that often.  Are you sure he's not going somewhere else in the house?  If you don't find anything, I'd definitely call the vet and explain what's going on and see what they advise.

With the bloated tummy, he needs to poop.  If you have some plain canned pumpkin, you can add a bit to each wet food serving.  Be sure to watch him.  He might need to get to the vet to be cleaned out.

Yay!  Is his tummy still bloated?  And you should feed him as much as he'll eat.  When mine was that age, I fed him 4 wet food meals a day and left out dry kitten food for him around the clock.
