This article is lacking in substance. I'm not sure why melatonin being used in animals would cause alarm. There are many medications that are used in veterinary medicine that are also used in human medicine. We are after all mammals. Benedryl, antidepressants, anticonvulsants are all used in animals as well as humans. Perhaps there is more research behind what the researcher is saying may happen and the author is leaving it out. Perhaps this is a hypothesis. If that's the case, it needs testing. It doesn't seem to have been done.
