Isoflurane or Sevoflurane (both gases) should be used as the maintenance anesthesia for all long surgeries. An injection may be given first or Propofol may be given by IV to give the vet time to intubate.

An IV should be placed before surgery.
It should be done on a heated surface.
Preop blood work should be done.

And Yorkies most certainly can go under anesthesia.
