My 7-week-old puppy is squatting to pee but only drops come out.

I have some puppies almost 7 weeks old. One of the females today squats to pee and only drops come out. She always has water. But there is ten of them and they always spill it. But I see them all drink. She peed Normal yesterday. She is super playful and eats and drinks. The vets up here are closed. We did come north due to what's going on in the world. What can I do to help her...

I would not do anything at this point. Just monitor her and see how she does over the next day or so. It would be odd for a puppy this age to have a UTI so if she doesn't seem better by Monday you should have her examined by a vet. Vets are open for urgent care and emergencies.
