Is anesthesia medication universal for animals and humans?

There was a video of a Macaw waking up from anesthesia and I’m curious if the medication is universal. Do humans an animals use the same anesthetic medications? Are they derived from the same compounds?

EDIT: Thank you everyone. This is very interesting to read through. 🤯 It’s amazing how far we’ve come.

Yes and no. There is certainly some crossover between medications including opioids, ketamine, etcetera. However there are animal sedatives (for example acepromazine) that are not used in human medicine. So induction drugs and pain management can vary. 
However, the inhalant anesthesia that is used after induction is the same. Essentially everyone uses isoflurane via an endotracheal tube. The process of waking up for every animal is largely the same due to this, plus or minus some extra induction side effects.
