Abstract

A 3.75-year-old, spayed female, Shetland sheepdog was presented with excessive bleeding from a gingival surface. The dog's condition deteriorated over 24 h and whole fresh blood was transfused. Type 3 von Willebrand's disease was diagnosed. Coagulation was achieved and the dog was released with recommendations for a sedentary lifestyle and careful monitoring.
