  • Title: Defects in coagulation encountered in small animal critical care.
    Author: Brainard BM, Brown AJ.
    Journal: Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract; 2011 Jul; 41(4):783-803, vii. PubMed ID: 21757093.
    Abstract:
    Critically ill small animals are at risk for developing coagulation abnormalities. The processes of inflammation and coagulation are intertwined, and severe inflammation can lead to disturbances of coagulation. Severe coagulation dysfunction is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of coagulation dysfunction are discussed. Defects in coagulation in small animal patients are complex and a consensus on diagnosis and treatment has yet to be reached.
