Normal values of coagulation in canine blood

Differences in the coagulation patterns between humans and dogs and the lack of reagents in the veterinary field to control haemostasis require a modification of existing screening techniques. The adaptations which were applied and which are described in this paper consist of greater dilutions of the samples. Two modified screening techniques in blood and plasma are described. The normal values of the different clotting factors and thrombokinetics, (thrombokinetogram, T.K.G.), using a normal beagle pool as a reference, are presented.
