EDIT: here’s a source for that figure
Previous studies have estimated that 73% of all antimicrobials sold globally are used in animals raised for food

I know of people that do even vegan keto. There’s actually a decently large subreddit for it. There are resources out there if you feel inclined to do so
I’d always caution people about keto in general though, esspecially for meat heavy keto. A lot of the discussion around it is not always the most scientific
Much of what people may be observing from keto is likely not as much due to carb limits, but from watching food closer. On most diets, people tend to report stuff like weight loss because they’re more aware of what they eat. Or in other cases, changing foods around accidentally ends up avoiding a very specific food sensitivity. For instance you’ll find lots of similar observations from a whole-foods plant-based diet
If it’s not being done for reasons like epilepsy, Keto overall has some not so great long term health impacts that people tend to gloss over. Though much of that research finding more negative outcomes look at people doing so with a meat heavy diet. Ranging from bone health to kidney damage. If I remember correctly, the more limited research about vegan keto has found better results, but I’d still advise caution in general
TLDR; yes it’s possible and there are people that do it, but just be careful about keto in general because it’s got some long term impacts that aren’t so great
Is there not a lot of conflicting evidence for, not keto specifically, but the role of fats and saturated fats (I believe the most concerning aspects of keto) in health? I did a bit of research before going on it and I think came to the conclusion it wasn’t really backed as healthy nor unhealthy but couldn’t be worse than eating garbage instead.
I’ll be sure to check out the vegetarian / vegan keto subreddits though! Might find some nice meals ideas.
Reading through some more scientific reviews article, it seems like a lot of the risk comes from animal-based product consumption particularly. For instance, one study found increased all-cause mortality for keto with higher animal product consumption and decreased levels for a plant-based keto diet. However, given that most studies aren’t focusing on that, it’s still hard to tell if there’s other risks not being included there. Additionally, a lot of the touted benefits of keto appear to wane over time and don’t end up doing all that much better than other diets
I’d still recommend just being careful about it
