Excellent advice! Yes, I will collect the ingredients from Truffle mid morning tomorrow. I hope he finds them palatable. Your advice is excellent, there are so many things I forgot or didn't know. It's great to hear from someone who has been through it themselves. Polo: Thanks Stripe, thanks buddy
I have some Pro C as well, so poor Polo will be getting that syringed in (hopefully) as well. He won't take it any other way, not even in food.
I sprinkle a pinch of Pro C on forage every night as my piggies live in the garage and it helps build up their autumn/winter/spring reserves.
Thank you
Polo is on more antibiotics, hopefully for a while this time. I hope your pain is down
Sending lots of love and healing hugs for Polo. It isn't yet, just one day at a timeThank you
Well, last night I decided the poop soup could not wait, and it was perfect timing, so I put Truffle into a carrier. I did check his pouch, but no poops. But a few minutes later I got a small, perfectly shaped poop in the carrier, thank you Truffle. I broke it in half and tried to feed it to Polo directly as I think we all do initially, but he looked at it slightly disapprovingly and sniffed, no cigar. So I mixed it with some Pro C into a muddy brown soup. It feels a bit strange squirting liquid poo into your pet's mouth, but he didn't object to it greatly. There must be some food quality to it. Luckily I managed to avoid unlucky splashes and so on
So I have administered my first poop soup. I'm a real guinea pig slave now 
I am sorry to hear you are still in pain. Yes, it is absolutely true, one day at a time. Not easySending lots of love and healing hugs for Polo. It isn't yet, just one day at a time
Well done.

I cleaned his bottom, he and Truffle seems to be having a competition with the rods, but they came away without a problemWell, last night I decided the poop soup could not wait, and it was perfect timing, so I put Truffle into a carrier.

I had to retrieve Polo several times as he wriggled alot and he gave me a kick on my wrist with his broad, sharp back claws. I look like I have been inclined to a bit of self harm with a little slit over my artery 
I needed a bit of F10 myself 
Doing OK, both quite active and eatingHope they are both ok
Hope Polo feels better soon.I cleaned his bottom, he and Truffle seems to be having a competition with the rods, but they came away without a problem
Thank youHope Polo feels better soon.
As to the sperm rods……spring is in the air!

Spring - 
and got some freshly picked grass as a reward 
I will give him some Fibreplex just now, but he is napping cosily post cage clean and bedding change so I am reluctant to bother him, although it has to be done 
His poops are looking better now, which is a relief. Even one or two bendy ones. And no wheezing at all at the momentOh yes .... poop soup ...... I remember it well when one of my rb piggies became ill. It does seem strange syringe feeding it to a piggie..
