my vet reccommends using isoflurane for high-risk dogs (like yorkies). first they initially induce the dog by injecting it with PropoFlo. PropoFlo is a mild sedative that only lasts about 5 minutes, so they can get the tube in (i think)... then they keep the dog asleep by using isoflurane, which is a gas inhalant, not an injection. i am definitely using this method even if its more expensive.
