Operating on unanesthetized animals

  1. ANIMALS IN RESEARCH: THE BIOMEDICAL MODEL

Ketamine was widely used in Russia as anesthetic in animal surgery before it was listed among restricted medicines. In order to use it, veterinary clinics need to get a special license and spend substantial amounts on specially equipped high-security premises where the medicine must be kept according to the new rules introduced in the early 2000s.

Since only big clinics can afford this, many Russian vets operate on unanesthetized animals, Newsru reported.

“In Russia, we have gone back in time to the 18th -19th century in the veterinary field, when general anesthesia wasn’t invented,” Irina Novozhilova, president at animal rights centre Vita, told Interfax earlier this year.

‘Providing drugs via injections to a cat’

Shpak’s case was just one in a series of ketamine scandals that first started in 2003. The State Agency for Drug Control decided at the time that the popular anesthetic should be restricted.

The drug has never been popular among human drug users because of its “very specific unpleasant hallucinations,” according to Chernousov. For vets and their patients, the new rules became a real pain.

A number of vets were sentenced for “providing drugs via injections to a cat,” according to media reports. Some vets, who couldn’t afford to meet all new requirements, started operating using paralyzing drugs, instead of painkillers.

Representatives of the state drug control agencies, however, say that the problem is that vets don’t want to spend extra money for licensing and special equipment, or use other methods, Newsru reported.
