After my incident with Nakita, I am for sure going to educate myself on the medications and drugs given to cats while being operated on.

Nakita was given Ketamine mixed with a sedetive and pre-op pain controller. I was searching on the net and found a pile of information that really made me aware that one has to educate themselves before any medical procedure is done on their cat. There are some real negative opinions on using Ketamine over other options. I have not done enough research yet to form an opinion, I have just read other's opinions.

It has opened up my eyes to the Education before Action. In reality, most pet owners would have no clue what drugs were administered at the vet's since they are suppose to be the experts.

99% of the time everything goes well, but precautions and education don't hurt just in case. Please talk to your vet and know what drugs are going to be administered and so you have the knowledge.

Oh, and stay away from the home medications such as aspirin. Unless it is directly prescribed and supervised by a vet, it can be very toxic!


Best wishes!
