Faktor-VII-Mangel · FVII deficiency · Hypoproconvertinemia · F7-Defizienz
Factor VII deficiency is an inherited blood clotting disorder affecting the circulatory system. It occurs when the body does not produce enough Factor VII, which is a specific protein essential for forming blood clots. Without enough of this protein, the normal process that stops bleeding is delayed, leading to prolonged bleeding after injuries or medical procedures.
Most affected dogs show no symptoms in daily life and live normally, with the condition often remaining unnoticed until adulthood. An owner might only observe signs if the dog experiences unusually prolonged bleeding after a minor cut, dental cleaning, or surgery.
The condition is not curable but is highly manageable, requiring no daily or lifelong medication. If surgery is necessary, preventative clotting support or blood products may be needed, typically costing between 200 and 1500 EUR per event.
