In 5/9 (55%) dogs, this did not elicit heart rate variation; in one dog this resulted in heart rate variation (this dog had an epicardial lead with abdominal generator, contrary to the other dogs); 3/9 (33%) dogs died before re-evaluation. Both cats and dogs with I Escherichia i - I Shigella i values in the 90th percentile or above (4.4% for cats, 5.4% for dogs) were significantly more likely to have diarrhea reported than animals below the 90th percentile (n = 85 and 64.7% vs. n = 565 and 43% for cats, p = 0.0003; n = 476 and 50.2% vs. n = 1356 and 30.5% for dogs, p = 2.5 × 10-14, Fisher's exact test). Bleeding lesions were identified in 22 dogs (10 with overt GIB, 12 with occult GIB), and included gastric ulcerations (13 dogs), intestinal ulcerations (6 dogs) and gastric/intestinal/colonic vascular ectasia (2 dogs); intestinal lymphangiectasia was identified on ALICAM® in 2 dogs subsequently confirmed by endoscopic biopsies. Endoscopic biopsies from the canine ileum were evaluated from dogs that were assigned to one of the following study groups: (1) dogs with IBD and severe hypocobalaminemia (n = 6), (2) dogs with IBD and suboptimal serum cobalamin status (n = 7), (3) dogs with IBD and normocobalaminemia (n = 7), and (4) healthy control dogs (n = 9). Dogs (n = 926) were divided into two groups: ideal weight (IW) (BCS 4 and 5/9) = 51.8% (480/926); and overweight (OvW) (BCS >=6/9) 48.2% (446/926), equally, owners were classified according to their dog's group: 62.5% of owners of IW dogs (300/480) and 74.4% of OvW dogs (332/446) believed that snacks are related to their dog's weight gain, this answer was associated with BCS group (p < 0.001) and resulted in OR 1.747 to dogs be overweight.
