Sorry to here your having problem with your baby..
I have an older female who has bouts with this.
I put her on a bland diet until it clear up.
I also use Imodium.

Dietary management:
Most pets with a sudden onset of diarrhea will benefit from fasting ("bowel rest") for 12 to 24 hours. This is followed by a bland diet fed frequently and in small quantities for 3 to 7 days. A home-made bland diet consists of one part cottage cheese, lean meat or skinned and cooked chicken with two parts boiled white rice. Many pet owners prefer the convenience of Hill's Prescription Diet I/D.

Many cases of chronic colitis respond to one of two dietary approaches: Increasing the amount of fiber in the diet. Fiber normalizes
intestinal transit time, increasing water absorption from the colon. Therefore, there is less water lost in the stool.

Feeding a diet that is not likely to stimulate an allergic reaction (hypo-allergenic diet).

Most cases of acute colitis are generally minor and can be cleared

with a short course of medication and dietary therapy.

I hope everything works out OK.
here is a few links about it.
