Default Does this sound like a possible UTI?

I was hoping to post Rocco's 1st birthday yesterday, but instead I'm here today on the sick/injured forum . About 2 days ago, he started going out to pee more often, and had less and less urine coming out. I called the vet this morning, since he was just getting droplets of urine out and raised his leg repeatedly with nothing coming out. Tried to collect urine for a sample but couldn't get much. Went to the vet this afternoon, and he said he couldn't feel his bladder, which is a good thing, indicating it's not blocked and distended. He did not have a fever, and the vet did not see crystals in his urine. The vet tested a drop of the sample and no blood was present...good news? I have to wait until tomorrow to see if the urine shows elevated bacteria (?). Rocco also had some loose stools over the past few days - not watery, just very soft and sloppy. He's a little lethargic, but is eating and drinking fairly normally. Any ideas? I'm worried sick, sick, sick, hoping it's not something more serious
