I’ve heard some boarding facilities decline to board animals that have been to our clinic on Saturday. This is unwarranted and not appropriate. Please call me and we can discuss the pathology of screwworms. The sweet animal we are treating is now clean, has been isolated the entire time and no flies have arisen from the affected dog. All larvae have been cleaned from the wound and destroyed.

Don’t panic, be intelligent and please, if you have questions, don’t assume. Get answers from us professionals.

Animal Health Alert - New World Screwworm Case Under Investigation

Andrews Veterinary Clinic is currently working with state and federal animal health officials regarding a case of New World Screwworm (NWS) in a dog seen on Saturday, June 6th. The dog and owners are not local to Andrews, and there is concern they may have recently traveled from Mexico.

USDA test results and the diagnosis have been confirmed. The dog has been treated and is doing well.

New World Screwworm is a serious parasite whose maggots feed on LIVE TISSUE. It can affect livestock, pets, wildlife, and people.

Watch for:
- wounds that worsen instead of heal
- foul-smelling or draining wounds
- visible maggots in a wound
- excessive licking, biting, or irritation around a wound

LIVESTOCK PRODUCERS should pay special attention to newborn umbilical sites, new branding sites, ear tag holes, castration wounds, and any fresh injuries.

If you suspect NWS, contact your veterinarian immediately.

As a precaution, animal owners should carefully consider non-essential travel with pets or livestock into areas along the Texas-Mexico border and ensure they are familiar with current state and federal movement requirements. Regulations regarding the importation and exportation of animals have become more stringent in response to the northward spread of New World Screwworm.

Please inspect your animals regularly and promptly address any wounds or unusual lesions with your veterinarian.
