By the way, I learned today that my vet DID use barbiturates for the pre-anesthesic ("Torbi"?)

I tried to do a search on this site to find out why barbs are bad and the search feature isn't working because nothing came up, yet I've seen the word before on this board.

Anyway, can someone fill me in on why barbs are bad and what the alternative is? Could this have been Cash's problem even though he was already under Anesthesia 4 minutes by the time he started to lose respiration?
