Bleeding

-
Bleeding is a common clinical presentation in small animal practice. Bleeding disorders occur more commonly in dogs than in cats. Clinical manifestations of bleeding disorders may range from mild and self-limited to life-threatening hemorrhage requiring immediate medical attention. Animals may bleed due to vascular injury caused by any trauma, surgery, ulcer, and tumor. In case of hemostatic disturbances, the hemorrhagic tendency is exaggerated as exemplified by spontaneous, multifocal, and unexpected severe bleeding.
