Dangers of Ketamine

[Valerie Gendron]

On 4/26/2022 we lost our precious angel Misha to Ketamine administered for spay. She died almost instantly once anesthesia entered her body. She was 7 months old. I have since learned that Bengals are very sensitive to Ketamine. Please, if you have a Bengal, research & don’t use. She had no history or evidence of cardiomyopathy. We are devastated & heartbroken. She was the best companion, high energy, curious & very intelligent, & is also missed by her buddy Max 8 mos old, who still cries & looks for her

I am so so sorry, and thank you for the information.

For your other sweetheart, try a purr toy, a heartbeat toy and Cat Music, which will help the transition for him.

You're not alone. We almost lost our first Persian many years ago when Ketamine was used for his neuter. The vet at that time told us because he was a brachycephalic breed he could never have it again. That was when I started doing my research and two Persians later requested another type of anesthesia. Fortunately both of them did well but I was still nervous.

My heart goes out to you. Thank you for your post. Misha was an absolutely gorgeous girl. Hugs to Max and you.

Thank you so very much, it was a very special relationship. When a Bengal picks you as their person you are in for a rare treat. It was/is almost unbearable for both my husband & I, but I was amazed at how Max @ 8 months old cried constantly, looking for her in closets, pantry etc He is finally getting his appetite back. I say this because a tragedy affects more than just people it also affects the other pets in the household to
Misha & Max
