Abstract
This clinical case illustrates the diversity of causes of disseminated intravascular coagulation (D.I.C.) in domestic carnivores. D.I.C. is the coagulopathy the most frequently encountered in veterinary medecin e after intoxication by anticoagulants. The authors discuss, using thi s case of D.I.C. which appeared as a complication of septic mastitis i n a female dog, the aetiopathogenesis, the differential diagnosis, the prognosis and the different methods of treatment possible for D.I.C.
