A couple years ago, my wife decided that we needed to bring one of our cats to an emergency vet hospital on a weekend. The cat had a slight allergic reaction to her food, and had an inner ear infection and was scratching the ear to the point of drawing blood. The cat had never been much of a fan of the vet, and this time was no exception, so the vet asked if he could give her a sedative so he could examine her. He took her into the back and we waited. And waited. And waited. Ends up, the idiot vet did the math wrong and gave the poor cat 10 times the required dose of ketamine. Luckily, she survived the ordeal, and apparently suffered no lasting effects.
And as far as I know, the cat isn’t suicidal anymore.
