Do you think humans aren't animals...?
Ketamine is a very safe and effective drug when used properly. In many areas it's a first drug of choice for prehospital ("ambulance") sedation. Around here our protocols prefer benzodiazepines like Versed, but we have Ketamine on the rig, and use it in cases like this.
- SeanDav 9y ago> "Do you think humans aren't animals...?" One has to be quite careful with type of comment. Of course humans are animals, but we are animals of a particular species and what one animal species eats or easily tolerates, can be deadly to another animal species. Some simple examples to illustrate the point. Chocolate and grapes are dangerous, even deadly for dogs yet of course are not only tolerated, but even actively enjoyed by the vast majority of humans with no ill effects. https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control/people-foods-avoid-feeding-your-pets https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control/people-...
