Give him back to his breeder, 5 weeks is way to young to be given away, unless you want to make sure he is a biter.
Don't feed him Pedigree, that food is garbage.

What was he dewormed with? There are several kinds of parasites, and not all dewormers cover them all. You really need to have his stool checked by a vet--he could have giardia or coccidia as well. A pup that age can dehydrate very quickly from diarrhea, so a vet check is the best idea.

5 weeks is SO young, please see the vet, diarrhea in puppies that age is nearly always cause for concern.
