It's not recommended to give melatonin to puppies, so I would not give this to Sasha. I'm not sure what symptoms she is displaying that would lead you to want to give her melatonin, and it may not be the right medication to give her to treat her symptoms. I would speak to your vet about her symptoms so she can get an appropriate medication prescribed for them.
