Anesthesia had been in use for over 25 years before 1880. But it was still expensive and difficult to get, especially in distant towns. Furthermore, though Doc Potter is a very organized doctor, it is indicated that for a long time, most of his patients have been animals. And while the preservation of livestock and service animals was important enough to take pains to take care of them, anesthesia would not have been considered necessary for them (in the days before the ASPCA, it would have been considered an impractical waste.) Therefore, it is logical to assume that Doc Potter, having had few or no human patients in recent memory, would not have any readily available. It is also likely that McElroy would have refused it anyway.
