This seller is from the states, so don'y know if you would be allowed to import it if you are not a vet. If your chook is ill you should take it to the vet as they would be able to prescibe the correct antibiotic.

A responsible vet wouldn't do that, not knowing if the product was fake or the source it was purchased from, and a load of other reasons as well

If its on ebay.co.uk then its legal, they can't allow posting of illegal items. If you're not sure, ask them, send them a message. They'll soon take the listing down if it isn't right.

Import of veterinary medicines is strictly controlled - see http://www.bsava.com/Advice/BSAVAGuidetotheUseofVeterinaryMedicines/Importingmedicines/tabid/369/Default.aspx

Chances are you would get away with it unless customs are very on the ball, but its not a good idea really.

Sorry to say, but no that just isn't the case, there are lots of things on ebay that are not legal just as an eg, they will sell documents for cars, without the car (V5)

It's also advertised on Amazon although not currently available.
