History

A 12-year-old 443-kg (975-lb) Quarter Horse mare, intended to be used for barrel racing, was referred to the theriogenology service of the veterinary teaching hospital at the University of California-Davis for a reproductive examination to assess fetal viability. Fifteen days prior to admission for the reproductive examination, clinicians at the same veterinary teaching hospital had examined and treated a laceration and subsequent septic condition involving the right metacarpophalangeal joint of the horse. At the time of admission, a solution (1 g of amikacin in 40 mL of isotonic saline [0.9% NaCl] solution) was perfused into the distal aspect of
