Von Willebrand disease in dogs is the most common inherited blood disorder our canine friends suffer with, and it also happens in humans and many other species. It’s a bleeding disorder – a failure of the blood to clot – with symptoms that can vary from mild to severe.
Luckily, von Willebrand Disease is rare enough that I haven’t had to deal with many dogs with the disorder in my eight years of being a vet, but I still keep a close lookout for it.
