If the stools are watery then Bob is suffering from a gastrointestinal infection, which can be quite severe in guinea pigs and requires antibiotic treatment. the only supplement you can get in the meantime that may help is a fiber supplement called "fibreflex" you may be able to find it in pet stores.
