Von Willebrand’s Disease (vWD) in Dogs
Von Willebrand Disease (vWD) is the most common inherited bleeding disorder in dogs. It’s caused by a deficiency or dysfunction of a specific blood clotting protein called von Willebrand factor (vWF). This protein helps blood platelets stick together to seal broken blood vessels and stop bleeding. Without enough functional vWF, dogs with vWD can experience excessive or prolonged bleeding. There are three types of von Willebrand disease: Type 1: There are low amounts of vWF proteins with normal structure. Type 2: Some vWF proteins are present,but there is an abnormal structure of the proteins which doesn’t function normally. Type 3: There are little to no vWF proteins available; this is the most severe form. Signs and Symptoms Symptoms of vWD can vary from mild to severe. Common signs include: Nosebleeds Bleeding gums Prolonged bleeding after surgery or injury Blood in urine or stool Bruising easily Diagnosis and Treatment A veterinarian can diagnose vWD through blood tests such as basic blood cell count, chemistry, and coagulation profile that measure vWF levels and clotting ability. DNA testing is also available to identify carriers, especially in breeds prone to the disease. There’s no cure for vWD, but mild cases often require no treatment. In more serious cases, veterinarians may use medications like Desmopressin acetate (DDAVP) or blood transfusions to manage bleeding episodes. It’s important to avoid medications like aspirin, heparin or sulfa-type antibiotics that can worsen bleeding. Prevention Responsible breeding practices are key to reducing the spread of vWD. Breeders should screen their dogs for the disease and avoid breeding affected animals.

Why Are Cats More Prone to CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease)?
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) can affect cats at any age but is more commonly diagnosed in middle-aged and senior cats, typically those over seven years old. There are several reasons that causes CKD, which are: 1. Natural Aging Process: Unlike dogs, whose kidneys tend to fail due to infections or inherited conditions, CKD in cats is often linked to gradual wear and tear on the kidneys as they age. 2. Low Thirst Drive: Cats evolved from desert animals and naturally have a low thirst drive. This means they don’t drink as much water as they should, putting extra strain on their kidneys. 3. Protein Metabolism: Cats require a high-protein diet, but their kidneys have to filter out protein waste. Over time, this can contribute to kidney damage. 4. Genetic Factors: Some breeds, like Persians, Siamese, and Abyssinians, are more genetically predisposed to kidney disease. 5. Silent Progression: CKD in cats often goes unnoticed because symptoms—like weight loss, increased thirst, and urination—develop slowly. By the time a cat is diagnosed, the disease is usually in an advanced stage.
