Gimmie's Fishes

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."
-------- J.R.R. Tolkien
