Obstetrics and Reproduction
The Veterinary Obstetrics and Reproduction Department at CEU UCH’s Hospital Clínico Veterinario is made up of a specialist team with active members of professional associations such as GERPAC (Grupo de Estudio en Reproducción y Pediatría en Animales de Compañía – Companion Animal Reproduction and Paediatrics Study Group) and EVSSAR (European Veterinary Society for Small Animal Reproduction). This enables us to provide highly specialized care in reproductive medicine, covering everything from monitoring the reproductive cycle control to the surgical management of associated conditions.
Our approach combines cutting-edge diagnostic tools with specific medical and surgical techniques to ensure the best outcomes in fertility, pregnancy, parturition, and prevention. Coordination with other hospital services allows for comprehensive follow-up of more complex cases.
Specialized services
Artificial insemination (fresh, refrigerated, or frozen semen)
Procedures tailored to the reproductive needs of the breeding animals, optimizing the chances of successful pregnancy.

Simple and non-invasive method to estimate the timing of ovulation and plan mating or insemination appropriately.
Hormone testing
Measurement of reproductive hormones to determine cycle status, or diagnose pregnancy and ovarian or testicular pathologies, among other uses.
Semen testing

Diagnostic imaging
Ultrasound and other imaging techniques for early pregnancy diagnosis, foetal viability, and detection of masses in the reproductive system or congenital abnormalities.
Scheduling of cesarean sections
