¹Clinical coagulopathy is defined as the presence of bleeding that may occur at one or more sites, associated with a prolonged prothrombin time (PT) phase.
Subclinical coagulopathy is defined as mild coagulopathy (≥ 20% increase in the upper reference range of PT) occurring in the early phase of anticoagulant poisoning, when dogs show no clinical signs.
