Is it okay for me to switch to the tablets? If so, what dosage should I be using? I thought I would purchase the 3mg tabs and give him a half a tab once daily...does this sound correct to anyone? Thanks!
Instead of battling with pills everyday, you might want to consider the
melatonin implant. The address for the supplier is

You will have to ask your vet to order them for you and insert one every
3-4 months. I started my little girl on them 3 weeks ago and so far I am
very pleased with the result.
