histopath through Idexx came back just showing the severe necrosis, no sign infectious disease and suspected vasculitis/ blood supply problem incl dds of torsion, intuscuception, vascular insult

so nothing we didn't know already unfortunately

clostridial toxicity? initial presentation was v+ but of course may already have had damage taking place and some grass was present in necrotic area of gut

once on clav/amox with metron haven't looked back. Due sutures out today

If you didn't throw it away, may be worth sending a piece to Danielle Gunn-Moore at Edinburgh to check over.

something vascular - toxic or infectious. An intussusception that undid itself?

Is eating, alert, drinking so hopefully being a cat with short GI tract not going to be too messed up with a good chunk missing.

No histo back yet.

Could it have been some sort of infarct in the mesentery?
