I didn't stay long enough to talk to the vet.
I went in early and he wasn't in yet so I talked with his assistant. She told me they don't use the Isoflorane becuase it is too expensive.

She said they give them a shot of anesthetic to put them out - wouldn't tell me what it was and then they use the halothane to keep them under. She assured me they only use the smallest of amount. As I waited for the vet to come in I just couldn't help and wonder WHAT IF - so I didn't stick around long enough to talk to him. His assistant gave me enough information. I just was not comfortable knowing they had the hookup for the Isoflorane but still didn't use it. I had my children with me and they were looking at me with those questionable little eyes of theirs and I had visions of the worst thing possible happening and me having to tell them.

I left there telling them I was not comfortable with the halothane and I would want to talk with my husband first....yada yada yada....and if I changed my mind I would reschedule.
