General information
Von Willebrand disease II (vWD Type 2) is an inherited bleeding disorder. It result from a lack or reduced level of a blood clotting protein called von Willebrand factor (vWF). The Age of onset is variable, some dogs only become obvious “bleeders” later in life.
Clinical features
Symptoms vary from easy bruising, asymptomatic to spontaneous bleeding and prolonged bleeding after injury, surgery or giving birth. In case of surgery the veterinarian should be informed. Affected dogs may also need close monitoring during their daily lives. Without medical intervention, uncontrolled bleeding can lead to death.
