    Calling them horse tranquilizers is misleading. Ketamine was and still is used in medicine and is on the WHO list of essential medicines.

    My cat is prescribed gabapentin. Some even get tramadol. Warfarin literally was rat poison until we got all but the craziest SOBs with an abundance of vitamin K in they’re veins.

      It’s not misleading when it’s literally used as a horse tranquilizer.

        If I say I’m serving cat food for dinner, and then whip out a nice piece of salmon sashimi, I wasn’t being misleading because cats eat fish? If so, you’re really killing some of my dad jokes here.

        It’s also used on infants for anesthesia due to how safe it is.

        Maybe we should start calling it “baby tranquilizer” instead?
