i now remember where i saw what to give your yorkie. it was at (alex's yorkie care frequently asked questions.)
see some vets think isoflurane is expensive, so they will use pentabarb or halothane or any barbituates. she also said don't let vet intubate toy dog because they had tracheal injury and died. tell vet to use the smallest tracheal tube to intubate your dog if there is no other choice because of the surgery type. she says be up front and tell your vet to mask your dog with isoflurane. it may be expensive. and if your vet doesn't have it go to another vet.
