− | DIC, also known as consumptive coagulopathy, is a condition where the coaguation and fibrinolytic cascades are out of control as a result of systemic [[Thrombosis|thrombosis]]. There is widespread clotting throughout the body with fibrinolysis and then a paradoxical [[Haemorrhage|haemorrhage]]. It is often recognised in dogs but rarely in cats. | + | DIC, also known as consumptive coagulopathy, is a condition where the coagulation and fibrinolytic cascades are out of control as a result of systemic [[Thrombosis|thrombosis]].
