Pumpkin does contain fiber, which can help with mild diarrhea some of the time. It certainly won't hurt anything to give it a try. However, if the diarrhea has been going on for more than 24 hours, I'd also schedule a vet visit for tomorrow. If Bruno seems weak, uninterested in eating, or just generally very ill, I'd recommend going to an emergency clinic tonight for evaluation.
