I was trying to go back through my vet receipts to see what they use. I believe it is Isoflurane because I remember asking them about Ketamine a couple of years ago. My bengal has a grade 3 heart murmur and has undergone anesthesia for two dental cleanings and an ultrasound and has been fine. Naturally, he comes home a little woozy, but is fine by the next morning. Your boy will be monitored constantly, and he really should be fine. Neutering does not take a long time, however, I doubt they use any less of the anesthesia. I'm sure if cats were able to tolerate these procedures without being sedated, the vets would prefer that. But, that's not the case. Most definitely, discuss any concerns with your vet and ask all the questions you want. That's what a pet owner is supposed to do.
