You have the math right. And though I have no medical reason to think this way, I'd say melatonin is melatonin is melatonin, human or ferret. So if the recommend dose is 1 mg (and that's the usual dose I've always read and recommend to others), then she needs to give her ferret 4 ml.
I seem to recall Dr. Murray saying (and don't quote me or him on on this!) that up to 3 mg can be given, so it appears there's a fair safety margin.
