Malabsorption is a generic term for incomplete digestion of food which can  
be caused by various disease conditions.  Sometimes it is discussed as  
Malabsorption Syndrome which is a reference to the symptoms of bloating,  gas, 
passing large quantities of stool, and greasy looking stool.  When  dealing 
with 
it--the vet will ordinarily do the rule out tests for Pancreatic  Insufficiency 
and Irritable Bowel Syndrome and not finding anything definitive  might just be 
left with calling it "Malabsorption Syndrome"   All that  is off the top of 
my head -- I could do some research but that calls for more  time:-)
 
I have only heard of reabsorption as it relates to a bitch reabsorbing  
puppies--for which there are many causes -- insufficient levels  of 
progesterone 
and uterine infection are two that come to mind.   If you have a bitch that is 
doing this you might need to go to a canine  reproductive specialist to get her 
worked up--I had a select bitch that never  did have puppies because she 
reabsorbed them at about 5 weeks (right after we  could determine that she was 
in 
whelp--wouldn't you know) Spent quite a bit of  money and tried all kinds of 
treatment none of which worked.  It is a  longer story than that but -- there 
it is
