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.
Yeah, I feel like there is a war on K because it can absolutely replace opiates in pre-hospital pain management. Break a leg? Let the medics hit you with ketamine. Oh, your BP is a little low? No worries, ketamine doesn’t care.
It is better than an opiate with none of the contraindications. And I’m oversimplifying, but I can’t help but think some of this news coming out is almost a hit piece to dub ketamine dangerous, when it is, in fact, magnitudes safer than opiates.
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.

oh, I tried that last month ! Pretty sweet high, relaxing. Like a really soft mdma (really soft!)
(I was talking about gabapentin, just realized it was ambiguous)

I meant gabapentin, sorry for the confusion
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.
If you open a can of cat food and eat it, does it stop being cat food?
No. So please expand as I’m not sure what this question was meant to demonstrate.
It’s also used on infants for anesthesia due to how safe it is.
Maybe we should start calling it “baby tranquilizer” instead?
Oh hell yes.
Foal tranq.
Lol okay that was funny.
Every human medication is also used on animals.

Horse tranquilizers?
No, not even horse tranquilizers.
