Even an organic product can have side effects. I would check with a Vet for dosage and duration of treatment. Melatonin has effects on sleep!

I started P'nut on Melatonin on May 1st. Her vet recommended dosage is 3 mg 2 x per day. ALL her fur has grown back in. It has been amazing. The vet did say it could take up to 4 months. It took us about 2.5 months to see any results. I so wish I took a before picture.
Our vet did say it was a very 1970's treatment
But hey, if it works it works.

They may be small, but you should see their hearts. Shelter/Rescue dogs aren't broken. They've simply experienced more life than other dogs. If they were human we would call them wise. They would be the ones with tales to tell and stories to write. The ones dealt a bad hand who responded with courage. Do not pity a shelter/rescue dog. Adopt one. And be proud to have their greatness on your side. Anon
