The vet nurse just gave me an update. They said Odin is bright. They said he ate some greens over night and has been being syringe fed. He’s passed urine. He has passed some droppings but they are quite small so they are continuing medication throughout the day today. Not had ultrasound yet

It's good that he has pooped. Remember poop output runs 2 days after food input. If he hasn't eaten much, he won't poop much.

I hope he gets eating and pooping more soon. He was doing so well and pooping lots on Monday and Tuesday. Just hope he continues to improve!
 
Glad to here he seems to be heading in the right direction! Fingers and paws crossed for you ❤️
 
Nurse said he’s still the same as he was :( no improvement yet :( said he’s only eaten a little so they syringe fed.
Still waiting to hear from the vet
 
Update: I’ve just spoken to the vet who was very good and very thorough. He said that the stasis is returning to normal and that Odin is eating vegetables and passing droppings again. I explained about the ongoing dental and how he doesn’t eat hay yet, but they were aware of the no hay eating and have been regularly syringe feeding.

as for the eye, the ultrasound does show a mass. He said he hopes it’s an abscess but you can’t be sure from an ultrasound. They are going to operate to remove the eye. He said guinea pigs usually recover well from this surgery but obviously the risk is surgery itself. So he’s going to build Odin up first to give him a better chance. Once removed he said they can better drain the abscess and there’s less chance of the eye being infected in the future if left in.
he also said once healed he will be fine because guinea pigs cope well, even if fully blind.
He did say he thinks all Odin’s issues are likely because he’s a result of in-breeding :( :( :( that’s why I keep getting so many issues despite doing an amazing job.

but I said I obviously have no intention of ever breeding from him so no need to worry about traits being passed on.

I really worry for his future and any future problems with what the vet has said. But surely the vet must think he’s worth saving too? And I’m more than happy to take him to Kim and Simon regular dentals
