Question Why Isoflourine???

Ok, so Howie is 6 months old and I know I need to get him neutered. From being on here, I've learned that Isoflourane or Sevoflourine are the only anaesthetics that should be used on yorkies. My question is WHY? I was on the phone with the vet's office today scheduling an appt for blood work and asked what they used and the vet tech told me Pentathol. Upon more research, I saw that this is a barbituate which I've also read on here is a NO NO for yorkies. But I need to know why!

I'm sitting here at work getting myself so worked up over this. I really appreciate your responses.
