The Effect of Intra-articular Morphine on the Antimicrobial Efficacy of Intra-articular Ceftiofur

Introduction: The anti-inflammatory effects of intra-articular morphine may improve outcomes in equine septic arthritis. The purpose of this study was to determine if intra-articular morphine would affect the antimicrobial efficacy of ceftiofur. We hypothesized that morphine would not alter the antimicrobial efficacy of intra-articular ceftiofur.
