Have you tried a livestock supplier, perhaps you could lie 
and say it is for your pigs.

In the UK you do not need (at least you didn't 2 years ago) 
a prescription and the UK has very tight drug laws.  e.g. 
you cannot buy any anti-biotic products without a 
prescription.

Or, you could go to a regular vet with some articles from 
the web and beg him to give you the prescription.  The vet 
I saw didn't particularly know anything about fish but I 
took a fish along saying that I thought they were 
nematodes, he then read up and recommended the drug & 
doseage.

What about the US, could you have it sent from there to you.
Alternatively if you only need a few ml then I could spare 
some, I'm a bit worried though about having the drug squad 
at my door. Perhaps it is noty a good idea, never really 
fancied prison!

Regards,
Ken.
