I'd say yes.

Yes I want to buy it but it will come to about 18 quid with postage and I only have £12.08 in my paypal account!!!

sent you a pm FGF

Yup, sorry bout the wait , I have just arisen from my crypt, having pulled an all-nighter.

Yup fish zole is fine for metro, metro also works on a lot of bacteria and its also sold for human conditions all the way from dysentary to bacterial vaginosis (yech)Metro genetically damages very small organisms , making them unable to breed and this includes bacteria as well as protozoa, its a very versatile drug.

Thats why its so good with hexamita, it kills the target protozoan, and helps with secondary symptoms.Also worth looking up the seachem stuff if your gonna try ordering online. Be a challenge getting someone to supply you with either online though.

Typical UK vets protecting their profit interests and using legislation to create captive trade. In places like india and the US you can complain of delhi belly, and theyd sell it to a 4 year old street urchin without asking questions. Over here, they want to see the fish (which lets face it is stupid, because you dont want to be moving a sick fish) and then they often multiply the prescription price to 10 times that of the cost price.Thats why british aquarists get pissed off with the veterinary community. tHye charge you anything upp to £50 for a treatment that should be around £5. Plus they cant diagnose the condition from symptomology any better than we can without doing a poo sample test, and thats another £25 quid average. Bloody rip off.

But because of small animal treatment legislation, we are allowed to both own the drug, and use it and stay within the law, but no-one can supply it to you without prescription. It really is a very stupid situation, and its killing fish in droves.We shouldnt have to pay more than £5 for metro treatments, its ridiculous.

I have just got a message back saying:

'Yes, we ship to the UK'

I asked them: 'Do you ship this product to the UK?'

That was the answer.

Go for it?

LHG - You reckon it's kosher, as you said in your last post I will have real trouble getting any shipped over?

If theyre dumb enough to ship it to you, tear their arm off. Its a seriously common drug worldwide its only here and in aus people have trouble getting it. Id say go for it.

that's what i thought. if they are gonna do it, i will let them.

Here is a link. do you think this will be enough to treat her? 30 tabs.
