Hi I took my girl my to the vets yesterday and she has a bloated stomach, they sent her home with pain relief and that's about it, I'm syringe feeding her making sure she's eating something and trying to keep her hydrated doing the same. She looks so sad. Is there anything I can do for her? Her stomach is still quite tender.

Hi

Here is our care guide for guinea pigs with digestive problems. If possible, try to vibrate your girl to help to move the gas. Any electric massage pads may help (bloating piggies generally find it comfy to sit on them for each half hour session), or even an electric toothbrush if that is what you can get hold of in a hurry.
