Haemophilia in dogs

Species: Dog
Condition: Haemophilia
Organ System: Nervous/sensory

Haemophilia is a disorder which affects the body’s ability to stop bleeding by clotting blood so that it slops flowing. It is one of very few disorders which is gender-specific in that most affected dogs are male but most carriers are female. Although the condition can affect any breed (including mixed breeds) German shepherds seem to be particularly prone to it. Haemophilia is often identified after your pup shows signs of bleeding for no apparent reason, typical examples of this would be excessive bleeding while losing milk teeth or bloody diarrhoea. Dogs with only mild haemophilia can lead relatively normal lives.
