I have a young doeling, about a week old, who might have a UTI?

Her mom is a FF and is only feeding one baby plus being milked. Her milk is normal, doesn't have any unusual taste or smell (that I can tell..) Though sometimes it has swirls of 'whiter' white milk before you shake it up.

But baby will pee a LOT, then a few seconds to a few minutes later she'll squat again and try to pee. Sometimes she'll try and push it out and only get a few dribbles. She'll squat to try and pee a lot more then she'll actually pee. Is this normal behavior and if not what should I give her? I've been told garlic is a good way to treat a UTI.

This is the first goat kid I've ever had in my posession, so I don't really know what's normal. I THINK it's also about time for her to get wormed/vaccinated?
 
Just a bit more info: She's eating and drinking milk just fine, very ravenous appetite, and she doesn't seem sickly.

Please help, I'm not sure what to do here and the internet isn't being useful.
 
As long as she is acting OK and her plumbing is working I don't think I would worry about it.
