Dr Myrhe and Son have been right there for us and our goat Larry. Larry is a stone producer and needed emergency surgery. Myrhe Equine Clinic is taking good care of him! Can't say enough how thankful we are for these Doctors! The care does not get any better and they have heart!

Follow up care was non existent even after I called twice and sent one picture I was very surprised they never followed up after pony being in their care. Dr ended up calling me and was very cool to me explaining I was just upset over the loss of my pet. Well of course I was but I was also upset before she died also regarding the lack and I mean lack of follow up care. I wouldn't send one of my horses there again

Excellent communication, called us daily. Found out what was wrong with our horse and did all they could to keep him comfortable. Very compassionate but realistic during a hard, long term illness to a beloved family pet. We would certainly trust them with our horses again.
