I'm not so sure about that. Here's what Dr. Kemmerer has to say about Sevo=
: =

"Sevoflurane is very new; extremely rapid induction, it=92s very sensitive =
and the patients have to be extremely, carefully monitored. They can go up=
and down really quickly. I generally only use it for induction because it=
=92s very, very fast; the ferret goes to sleep within a few breaths =96 10 =
seconds and he=92s going to sleep already =96 and then we switch him to Iso=
flurane because it=92s a little easier to manage, it=92s not quite so sensi=
tive. "
