Research and information regarding Ketamine used as an induction agent on Sphynx, Devons, Siamese, Cornish, Selkirks. With additional information on HCM. In tribute to GODZ Gimli Gil-Galad Marshall who died from Ketamine during a dental cleaning in April 2008. May this information save others from the ugliness of unnecessary loss due to the common misconception by many of today's vets that "A cat is a cat".
"Gil-Galad was an Elven-king. Of him the harpers sadly sing: The last whose realm was fair and free, Between the mountains and the sea. The countless stars of heaven's field, Were mirrored in his silver shield."

SPHYNX DNA RESEARCH for HCM
Please consider making a contribution to the Winn Foundation. They are currently trying to fund DNA research for the SX breed. This can help eliminate HCM in our beloved breed!
