🚨 Animal Owners: Stay Alert for Screwworm 🚨
The USDA has confirmed a case of New World Screwworm in Texas. This dangerous parasite can affect horses, cattle, pets, wildlife, and other warm-blooded animals by laying eggs in open wounds, where larvae feed on living tissue.
Now is the time to be proactive:
✔️ Check animals daily for cuts, scratches, and skin irritations
✔️ Clean and manage wounds promptly
✔️ Maintain good fly control around barns, pastures, and homes
✔️ Contact your veterinarian if a wound worsens, develops an odor, or shows signs of infestation
Even small scratches can attract flies, making proper wound care more important than ever.
