My 7-week puppy has diarrhea and pees often. Is it a UTI or stress?

Question

Female Plott coonhound puppy, 7 weeks old seems to squat alot to pee. Sometimes big normal puddles as I would expect and sometimes just a couple drops noticed when I got her home. Started having some diahrrea today. Does have some texture to it but loose and leaves stains when cleaning it up. She is playful when she isn't tired. Still adjusting to her crate which she doesn't like. I'm not sure if she is getting sick or stress of everything new and new food. Pet's info: Dog | Plott | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 19 days old | 4 lbs

The straining to urinate with small drops would make me concerned there is an urinary infection which will make training harder to do. The diarrhea can be from intestinal parasites if she has not yet been treated or diet and stress. If she is eating and drinking well with no vomiting then I would not be concerned there is a major illness causing these symptoms and would say stress and diet are a higher possibility. It is best to have your vet check her urine and stool sample because antibiotics may be needed to clear the problems
