I have been trying to help Diane off-list get the melatonin dosage straight=
(message #1032). Dr. Murray wrote her and said the dosage is 1mg.

According to Diane, the bottle says 1mg =3D 4 droppers and it also says 4 d=
roppers =3D 4 ml. That would mean that the dosage would be 4ml. Right?

The bottle further says that the serving size is 4 droppers (4ml). What wo=
rries me is that this is a product for humans. Is it possible that the fer=
ret dose would be the same as the human dose? I know nothing about melaton=
in. I was just trying to help her do the math. I have asked her not to gi=
ve it until it can be verified by her vet or on this list.

Help please.
