Masking diwn is fine when needed. Propofol is also fine. Propofol is given by IV only. When masking down the oup falls asleep, the mask is removed, a tube delivering Iso is placed.

Masking is controversial because it leaks anesthetic to the technicians, it is stressful for some dogs, adding other drugs can be helpful, and the flow has to be stronger at first. On the other hand it is a nice alternative for pups who do best with fewer types of drugs.

My dog is masked. We could use Propofol but choose not to.

No daily pain injection is good for the liver. Maybe he meant monthly Adequan?
