Thanks for the further explanation....that sounds much more reasonable. She likely would do OK with the Ketamine dose. The LD-50 on that stuff is very high. I'm glad she didn't attempt the surgery and it did sound strange that she would have. That's still not the kind of surgery you want to do at home....I never would, but did 'cut' a lot of tomcats on tables in homes.
