Megestrol Acetate dosing chart with MG column added

Here is a dosing chart with a MG column added for those using Nonovulin pills. 

I originally mixed a several week batch in water but I found that it developed mold after just a couple days so I began adding the crushed Nonovulin to wet food just before feeding.  
I used a pill cutter and then pill crusher to make a powder. The dosages were not exact but as close as I could get them with this method.
