The only "teal" sounding one I can think of is thiopental which is a barbituate and dangerous. Get the actual name and I am sure you can find something on it.
Excellent post. Before I had my babies spayed/neutered, I did a lot of research on anesthesia. If it is a barbituate, it is VERY dangerous. If the vet refuses to use Isoflurane, I would cancel the appointment and find another vet.
