Sammy the poodle (http://matrixmark.kesug.com/Sammy.jpg) is prone to severe ear infections. Every time he gets one of those and I take him to the veterinarian, they give him an antibiotic injection, an anti-inflammatory injection and drops to put in his ear. That's $402.85 out of my wallet. Or I can give him the same injections myself. However, in the United States I can shoot my dog with impunity (see Noem, Kristy) but I need a prescription from a veterinarian to give him an antibiotic - that will be $402.85 please. Heck, I need a prescription to give him flea pills too. Or I can order the same medications from Great Britain, without a prescription.
There's a lot of stuff for animals that is rx only in the US, but not controlled medication, so people end up buying it overseas as it's not really enforced and even if it were the penalties would be weak.
Stuff like flea medication and rabies vaccine comes to mind.
