Plain-English summary
A 5-month-old mixed breed dog experienced abnormal bleeding after a routine neutering surgery. The bleeding was found to be caused by a deficiency in factor VII, a blood clotting factor. The dog's lack of response to vitamin K treatment indicated that this condition was likely inherited rather than something acquired. The vet was able to identify the issue, which is important for managing the dog's health in the future.

Abstract
Abnormal bleeding following routine orchectomy of a 5-month-old mixed breed was determined to be due to factor VII deficiency. Although pedigree information was unavailable, failure to respond to vitamin K therapy and the absence of a plasma coagulation inhibitor suggested that the factor VII deficiency was likely inherited rather than acquired.
