Hi Patty,

I am assuming that the medicine in question is from her vet, not just 
something she bought over the counter.

Micrograms are measures of weight, usually applied to dry substances like 
powders, and millilitres are measures of volume, usually used with liquids. 
 Your friend's problem is akin to being told to give her horse a 
tablespoon of something but then the measurer is labeled in ounces.  SHE 
SHOULD CALL HER VET BEFORE ADMINISTERING ANYTHING.  Verify the dosage as 
millilitres.  If the medicine is LIQUID, she will need to find a liquid 
dropper labeled in mls.  Perhaps in a medicine cabinet, a child's ear drops 
or something similar.  I save droppers from any meds I get for just such 
exigencies.  If the medicine is DRY, she needs to ask the vet if she should 
she dilute it and if so how many micrograms per how many millilitres (or 
tablespoons) of water?  If she shouldn't dilute it, then how many 
micrograms per dose?
