An average healthy dog drinks about 1/2 to 1 ounce of water per pound of body weight per day. The amount of water your dog is drinking is an important piece of information to share with your veterinarian and can help avoid unnecessary testing. Keep in mind that dogs are very sloppy, inefficient drinkers.
Barrett's esophagus overview. Barrett's esophagus is a condition in which the esophagus, the muscular tube that carries food and saliva from the mouth to the stomach, changes so that some of its lining is replaced by a type of tissue similar to that normally found in the intestine. This process is called intestinal metaplasia.
Inflammation of the colon can lead to epithelial metaplasia, which reduces mucus production and renders the mucosa prone to bleeding. The submucosa, tunica muscularis and serosa of the large intestine are similar to those of the small intestine.
