Ehlers Danlos

• Talk to your vet about your dog’s Ehlers-Danlos syndrome result so you can plan appropriate care and monitoring.
• Handle your dog gently and avoid rough play or activities that could lead to cuts or bruises, such as dog parks, outdoor hikes, or running through dense brush.
• Keep their environment safe by padding sharp edges, using soft bedding, and preventing jumping from high surfaces.
• If wounds occur, seek veterinary attention promptly, as the skin may be slow to heal or tear easily.
