My vet actually used to use isoflourane but now uses something
called sevoflourane instead. She says it is a gas, like iso, but
better. It has a shorter recovery period and doesn't involve the
foul taste that iso seems to give the fuzzies. But I know my vet
would agree that if sevo isn't available, iso is the best thing.
