How do the drugs used in veterinary anesthesia compare with those used to anesthetize people?
Mostly they are the same drugs. We use some drugs that are not commonly used in people because they work well in dogs and cats and have stood the test of time as being helpful for our patients. The frequency with which we use some drugs is different than for human patients but for the most part the drugs were originally developed for people and have been adapted for use in dogs and cats.
