Poorly piggy

[Teddy and Tony]

Does anyone now what this is sticky substance on guinea pigs poor, at the moment he is not eating so syringe feeding food and water, he had blood in his wee so want on antibiotics and pain killers, now he's not pooping very often and this sticky stuff is on it, he has been seen by a vet and there nothing more to do for him but to put him to sleep, has anyone any ideas. Thanks

It looks like mucus which could suggest digestive problems.

I'm sorry to hear the vet says he needs to be put to sleep.
If this hasn’t yet happened, can I ask a few questions -
How old is he?
Was his urine tested for a UTI?
X rays? - this can help identify whether it may be stones rather than a UTI
How long has been on antibiotics?
Have you been weighing him daily? Lack of poop can suggest stasis/not enough food, so the weight checks would tell you whether he is getting enough food to keep his weight stable.
When did he last poop? Poop output is 1-2 days behind food intake
How much syringe feed is he getting in each 24 hour period?
Was he given a probiotic (or poop soup made from the poops of a healthy companion) while on antibiotics? This can help settle the gut and lessen the affects of the antibiotics on the digestive system

Hi he's around 6 he was a rescue before so not to sure, he had an ultrasound about week ago wasn't any stones, but there unsure whether he had a lump or something else.
He has been on antibiotics since 16/07 he's also on meloxidyl and emeprid. He's put on weight over last few days.
I'm feeding critical care about 4/5 hours and water at the same time about 10ml a time.
He wasn't given probiotics at the time or poop soup but I have given it to him now.
