​Anesthesia Information

​Ketamine Anesthesia

I'm in many groups for breeders and also from my vet they have said never to use Ketamine.  As it can cause death in cats.  It can also look like Maine Coons have HCM while under this anesthesia. It will cause them to go into heart failure or even enlarge their hearts.  If you try to google this you will either find reports of how safe this stuff is or it's been erased.  I wonder why that is?  Is it because it makes companies too much money to take off the market?  Probably.  Most do not care about the health of animals or even people for that matter.  I wanted to find the proof of what this does and why.  This also affects many other breeds of cats.  I've seen where others have written their own article about it.  I've not come across one for Maine Coons.  If your cat was happy, healthy, and had good blood work, no heart issues or murmurs prior to surgery, a lot of times Doctors will claim it's HCM.  If the kitten came from health tested parents it's highly unlikely.  There are other factors as well.  I know food alone will cause heart failure in cats.  I have that under "Cat Food" if you want to read that.  But a healthy cat or kitten being put under with a needle can have a lot of side effects or allergic reactions.  Gas is the best way to go.  Also the mix of Ketamine and other drugs in combination will cause side effects, allergic reactions, or death in cats.  Good luck trying to finding any science based article on that.  Instead Doctor's like to point at the Breeder instead of looking at the cat in whole.  I've come across some necropsy stories that it did in fact prove the anesthesia was the cause of death.  Once Ketamine is in the system there is no reversal.  They will have to wait it out and in hopes nothing has damaged them.  It can change a cats personality temporarily or permanently. 

Sometimes they will use these 3 together with sedation Hydromorphone IM, Ketamine IM, Medetomidine IM.  There is also Dexdomitor and is similar to Ketamine.  Any injected anesthesia can cause similar reactions to each other.

I'm going to post links to what I've come across.
