Ketamine, my bad, not the same as pcp, just the same class, is a dissociative anesthetic that is commonly used in veterinary medicine. She did the anesthesia, the actual procedure was done by a friend of hers who had formerly been a vet, retired at the time as I understand it. I suppose she was not technically licensed to do anesthesia on a cat. She arrived at dose by weight as I recall, but this was about 40 years ago, so my memory may not be accurate.
