The digestive system is divided into the upper digestive tract, which consists of the mouth, esophagus, stomach, liver, spleen and pancreas, and the lower digestive tract, which includes the small intestine, large intestine, rectum and anus. Each part has its own specific problems, and it is best to analyze them separately: Stomach: Stomach disease can be divided into acute (a sudden onset of severe illness) or chronic (a long-term but milder problem). Signs of colic (stomach pain) include: whimpering, arching the back into a bow shape, and tenderness in the abdomen. Signs of acute disease include: vomiting
