Reproductive Medicine & Neonatal Care
-
Reproductive success and neonatal health require attentive management and precise care. We work closely with breeding programs, farm managers, and individual owners to support mares and foals at every stage.
From the first breeding exam to birth and beyond, our goal is to protect your mare and foal with attentive, informed medical oversight.
-
We have successfully guided hundreds of clients through the breeding process, helping mares conceive and carry healthy pregnancies. Our reproductive services begin with a comprehensive breeding soundness examination, followed by careful cycle monitoring and precise timing to optimize conception rates.
We offer artificial insemination using fresh, cooled, or frozen semen, as well as coordination with breeding shed management when appropriate. Once pregnancy is confirmed, we partner with you to establish a tailored schedule of examinations and vaccinations throughout gestation, supporting the mare’s health and preparing her for a safe and successful foaling.
In addition, we provide comprehensive Breeding Soundness Examinations for stallions to evaluate fertility, reproductive health, and overall breeding potential.
Emergency & Critical Care
Emergencies demand swift decision-making and calm, skilled execution. With extensive training in emergency and critical care, Dr. Murrell provides responsive, high-level treatment when horses need it most.
Our priority is rapid assessment, clear communication, and decisive action to achieve the best possible outcome.
