My guinea pig had diarrhoea, now he isn't passing faeces at all, anything I can do? Until I take him to the vets. I've been syringing him water, with this tummy care stuff, and food. Also gave him anti-parasite treatment in case it was anything to do with that.

Please continue to syringe feed and water and see a vet as soon as possible! Do not treat on spec; you're more likely to make things worse and not better.

How much food are you giving; how much and how often? If it is very little, then there are bound to be pauses in the pooing. Is your piggy eating partially on its own? Are you continuing to weigh daily at the same time?
 
Oh I had this over xmas it's awful isn't it:no: , I was doing critical care feeds round the clock and yes even during the middle of the night!(you can tell I don't have kids lol ) , keep him warm and hydrated , the vet gave mine antibiotics and a shot of metacam and he screamed the house down but he bounced back to his usual self :)
