🚨 Livestock & Pet Owner Alert: New World Screwworm Prevention
With New World Screwworm recently detected in Texas, Salt Creek Veterinary Hospital wants to emphasize preparation over panic.
For our immediate area, the focus is strictly on monitoring and prevention. Please implement the following steps immediately:
1️⃣ Keep pets on prescription-strength flea and tick preventatives year-round.
2️⃣ Note for livestock movement: Due to changing import requirements, health papers will now require a consultation with a DVM one week prior to your shipping date to establish a specific plan for your shipment.
Current clients: Call us for phone consultations on preventative herd strategies.
New clients: Contact the clinic to schedule an onsite risk-assessment visit.
Thank you for doing your part to protect Texas agriculture! 🇨🇱
