THE ADMINISTRATION OF 37 When the anesthetic is administered very gradually, it is often possible to cause the animal to pass into the third stage without becoming in any way frenzied or excited; one can frequently succeed in quietly anesthetizing small dogs whilst they are held in the arms of the owner, without being secured in any way and without any struggling, the animal passing tranquilly into the stage of unconsciousness.
