Hemostatic disorders secondary to drugs or underlying disease

Numerous diseases and conditions affect hemostasis. Every animal with a bleeding disorder should be evaluated for underlying disease, especially older animals with a sudden onset of symptoms and no previous history of hemorrhage. A thorough drug history should also be taken as many drugs used to treat underlying diseases affect hemostasis.
