Del, The volume in a drop depends on the density and surface tension of liquid, as well as the size of the dropper. With water or vodka at room temperature in a standard one-ounce (30 ml) dropper bottle there are about 700 drops per ounce, or about 90,000 drops per gallon. (Don't ask why I counted them!) The imidacloprid dose is surely more than just a drop though. For cats over 9 lbs, the dose is 0.8 ml. If that were water from a dropper bottle, it would be about 19 drops (18.7 = 0.8 / 30 * 700). In less than three weeks Tina is due for his next dose. I'll count the drops and let you know. Exciting, huh? That's science for ya! David
