I would try to figure out the cause of the diarreha. Could it have over eaten, milk replacer mixed up incorrectly, change in milk replacers, new food?? At 5 weeks, it also could be Coccidia and/or parasites, these would need to be treated. It's very important to prevent dehydration, use an electrolyte solution instead of the milk. Probiotics. It would be good ot review the article HEALTH PROBLEMS OF NEWBORNS AND YOUNG KIDS.
