I agree it is a good idea to keep your baby on the bland chicken diet until he feels better. I think that if you have given him one tsp of pumpkin and it made things a little better you might try 1 or 2 tsps next time. You are in the right ballpark.
It might be a good idea too to hold off on the dewormer for a few days if there was no diagnosis. The poor boy needs to rest his GI system right now.
Sorry I said Pepcid instead of Zantac, I get them muddled up as they are used in similar ways. It is important to keep him hydrated by drinking water or by adding liquid to his food.
Hoping your baby feels better soon and that the stool firms up.
Obviously if he does not improve you might take him back to the vet for further tests and meds.
