Q:How safe is it to inject morphine when a dog has been sedated? Should there be recovery time after sedation before morphine is given, and if so, how long? What precautions/warnings should there be in the use of morphine? Our 8 y.o. dog injured her shoulder and to do an ultrasound and extend the legs, the orthopedic veterinarian says sedation required.
Are there any concerns about drug interaction between sedatives and morphine?
Our regular vet does not use opiates or other 'controlled substances'.

A:Who is giving the morphine?
A:the veterinarian injects the morphine. I do not believe any 'civilians' would ever have access to morphine, as it is heavilty regulated as a controlled substance.
A:I suspect you wouldn't be asking the question if you didn't already have some idea of the answer.
I would guess that it depends on the sedative that's being used with the morphine. If the sedative is a narcotic in the same family as the morphine, then probably.
But if I had any question about interactions, I guess I'd bring it up with the Vet. Most doctors (physicians, too!) are willing to answer questions about medications--and probably your orthopaedic vet is very knowledgeable about the sedative and pain reliever he uses.
