[blparent] measuring meds in drops

[Robert Jaquiss]

Hello BArbara:

     Perhaps you could use a syringe and have someone pull the plunger up 
the appropriate ammount and then cut a notch in the shaft. You also might 
contact the vendor of the medicine and ask for a more precise measurement. 
Ask for it to be converted to milliliters. I think syringes are calibrated 
to milliliters. A Vetinary supply store may be able to help you get a 
syringe. They can be prescribed as well. At one time, there were devices 
used by diabetics to measure insulin when syringes were used for injecting.

Regards,

Robert
