Possible UTI?

I just got my little dude Augustus (Gus) a couple of days ago. He is settling in well, he is playing, eating, and drinking water well. I have been taking him outside every time he wakes up, eats, drinks or plays. I have noticed that when he first wakes up he has a steady stream of urine. He then will continue to squat like he has to pee but only a couple of drops will come out. He is not excessively straining or whimpering when peeing. He even does this inside after he pees outside (I know puppies are gonna have accidents haha) and he does this every 2-3 mins, each time only getting a couple drops out. I’m not really concerned about an obstruction but I am concerned about a UTI, I plan on taking him to the vet tomorrow but I was just curious if anyone else has experienced this with a basset puppy or adult for that matter. As I stated earlier, he is eating, drinking and playing like a puppy should. He does sleep a lot, he takes like 2 hour naps and is then up for 30-60mins and then back to sleep. Any help would be appreciated!
