veterinary help please - Intussusception?

Intussusception (invagination) - the telescoping of one part of the bowel
into another: symptoms include intermittent colic or pain, vomiting and the
passing of red jelly with the stools.
Murphy, Intestines, Intussusception: ARS, COLOC, OP, PLB VERAT all bold
type.

hope this helps - according to my vet friend if it is intussusception,
surgery is the only option (but then, she is not a homoeopathic vet!) - and
it has to be quick because shock from gangrene of the bowel can be a result.

Good luck
Eleana

It's a difficult one I know - got caught out once and had to learn it - LOL

Well spotted though - I hope the poor cat gets better...
