Заболевание
The underlying pathomechanism of Haemophilia A is a lack or decreased activity of factor VIII that plays a critical role in the coagulation cascade. Affected dogs present with hemorrhage that can vary from mild to severe depending on the degree of the disease.

If the disease is severe and no precautions are taken, affected dogs can bleed to death after surgery or injuries.
