It stops blood from clotting.
Humans have an average gestation period (time of pregnancy) of 280 days.
The main cause of a longer clotting time is the deficiency of the clotting factor in the blood. This is as a result of a damaged platelet in the blood cells.
No it does not , it makes your blood thinner.

In purpura, which involves bleeding due to vascular abnormalities or platelet issues, the clotting time may remain normal since the primary problem is not with the clotting factors. In hemophilia, a genetic disorder characterized by deficiencies in specific clotting factors (most commonly Factor VIII or IX), the clotting time is prolonged, particularly in tests like the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). This indicates a delayed clotting ability, leading to increased bleeding tendencies.
Clotting time is important because it helps assess the body's ability to form blood clots efficiently. Abnormal clotting times can indicate bleeding disorders or increased risk of thrombosis. Monitoring clotting time is crucial in determining the effectiveness of anticoagulant therapy and guiding appropriate medical management.
The normal clotting time for canine blood typically ranges from 1 to 5 minutes. This measurement can vary based on factors such as the dog's size, breed, and overall health. It's important to conduct specific tests, like the activated clotting time (ACT), to assess a dog's clotting ability accurately. If there are concerns about abnormal clotting times, veterinary consultation is recommended.
A test to check your blood clotting.
Because blood has clotting factors- these clotting factors help to prevent further bleeding
