Section: Follow-up
Follow-up care for a dog with Type I vWD is minimal. Unless the animal begins to bleed, which is unlikely in the absence of injury, no therapy is needed. However, these things may improve an affected dog's life.
Minimize the chance of injury by keeping your dog confined either in a fenced area or on a leash when outdoors.
If your dog should begin bleeding, seek veterinary assistance immediately.
Inform any veterinarian treating your dog about his vWD. This is especially important prior to surgical procedures, including dental cleanings.
