Can a dog get von Willebrand factor if he has vWD?
What can be done to treat dogs with vWD? In an emergency situation, transfusion of blood or fresh frozen plasma may stabilize a bleeding patient. The dog donating blood may be treated with a drug called DDAVP prior to blood collection. DDAVP will raise the level of von Willebrand factor in the donor's blood, an obvious benefit for the dog with vWD.
Dogs that test in the normal range (VWF:Ag greater than 70%) are ideal for use in breeding programs. Matings between 2 VDW test-clear parents are predicted to produce only VWD clear pups. Progeny testing (testing parents and entire litter) will further confirm predicted genetic status based on a single VWF:Ag value.
