Hello Erie County Shelters and Rescues,

Please see the updates below regarding the NYS Emergency Import Regulations related to New World Screwworm, effective Tuesday June 16th, 2026. I’ve attached two helpful documents for reference.

New World Screwworm (NWS) – NWS has been detected in both Texas and New Mexico. The current NWS outbreak is rapidly evolving with case counts and regulatory actions. It is imperative that you stay informed.
The NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets has also just issued emergency orders in response to the NWS outbreak. These orders affect many domestic animal species. These orders are located on our Import/Export website and can be viewed here: https://agriculture.ny.gov/animals/animal-import-export
i. Dogs and cats originating from a state with one or more New World Screwworm Infested Zones are prohibited from entering the State of New York for the purposes of rescue, adoption, transfer, sale, lease, sponsorship, or gift of such dog or cat.

*Please note that this is a reportable disease in ALL states. If you suspect NWS, please contact your state veterinarian or USDA immediately. Early detection is crucial to limiting the spread of this disease.

For roughly three decades, every new flea and tick preventative has been met with the same cycle: Advantage was going to kill dogs. Then Frontline. Then Trifexis. Then Comfortis, Sentinel, NexGard, and Bravecto. Each one declared poison.

Each one the end of our pets as we know it. And yet, here we are.

Right on schedule, Bravecto Quantum has taken its place in the rotation — referred to in this post as "Flea Injection."

Here are the actual facts:

1. "Poison injection" is a mischaracterization.
Fluralaner (the active ingredient) is an insecticide — it works by targeting the nervous systems of fleas and ticks, not mammals. Isoxazoline products are commonly used and safe for most dogs and cats. Calling it a poison injection for dogs is misleading.

2. The FDA approval process is rigorous.
Bravecto Quantum underwent extensive safety testing, including safety demonstration at 5 times the recommended dose given every 4 months for a total of 6 doses. That's not something a dangerous drug passes.( 6 years worth of medication was administered)

3. The seizure risk is real but rare and already disclosed.
In the U.S. field study, only 0.9% of dogs (2 out of 225) experienced seizures — a rate consistent with what's reported in the general dog population. The neurological warning is on the label precisely because transparency is required. Veterinarians are already instructed to use it with caution in dogs with a prior history of seizures or neurologic disorders.

4. The "irreversible" framing is exaggerated.
A veterinary dermatologist reviewing the safety data concluded that most adverse effects are likely to be self-limiting and of short duration. The long duration of the drug is a legitimate discussion point — but "watch and hope" is not the clinical picture.

5. The post discourages the conversation that should actually happen.
No one is saying every dog should get this. Pet owners should consult with their veterinarian to determine whether an isoxazoline product is appropriate for their specific pet. That's the right approach — not blanket social media fear-mongering.

Bottom line: The neurological risks are real and are transparently disclosed on the label. This drug isn't appropriate for every dog. But replacing nuance with alarm — and discouraging veterinary consultation — is what actually puts dogs at risk.

P.S. — For those keeping score, Bravecto Quantum isn't exactly fresh off the assembly line. It was first approved in Australia and New Zealand in 2023, then the European Union in 2024, before finally reaching the U.S. in July 2025. It is now approved in over 50 countries worldwide. If this injection were the mass canine catastrophe this post suggests, we'd likely have heard about it from the other side of the world by now.

⚠️ Traveling with Your Dog to Texas, New Mexico, or Other Southwestern States? Read This First! ⚠️

If you or someone you know is planning to travel with their dog to states such as **Texas**, **New Mexico**, or neighboring areas where concerns about the **New World Screwworm** have increased, we recommend taking a few important precautions before your trip.

What is New World Screwworm?

New World Screwworm is not a typical maggot. Unlike most fly larvae that feed on dead tissue, screwworm larvae invade and feed on **living tissue**. Adult flies are attracted to wounds, surgical incisions, tick bite sites, hot spots, and even very small skin injuries. Once eggs are deposited, the larvae hatch and burrow into the tissue, causing painful and potentially severe wounds.

Infestations can rapidly worsen and may require intensive veterinary treatment. While the United States eradicated New World Screwworm decades ago, recent confirmed detections in parts of North America have renewed concerns about preventing its spread.

Before You Travel

**Heartworm/Tick-Borne Disease Antigen Testing Recommended**

We strongly recommend scheduling a Heartworm/Tick-Borne Disease Antigen Test (Heartworm, Lyme disease, Ehrlichia, and Anaplasma screening) before travel. This helps ensure your pet is healthy before entering areas where exposure to parasites and vector-borne diseases may be increased.

Parasite Prevention Matters

We also recommend starting **Credelio Quattro®** before arriving in the destination state and continuing it throughout your visit as directed by your veterinarian.

Credelio Quattro provides protection against:

* Heartworm disease
* Fleas
* Ticks (including ticks that may transmit Lyme disease, Ehrlichia, and Anaplasma)
* Intestinal parasites

Additional Travel Tips

* Check your pet daily for wounds, cuts, or skin irritation.
* Seek veterinary attention promptly for any non-healing wound or unusual swelling.
* Keep pets on effective parasite prevention year-round.
* Avoid delaying treatment of skin infections, hot spots, or injuries while traveling.

Traveling Soon?

If your pet will be visiting Texas, New Mexico, or surrounding regions, contact your veterinarian before departure to discuss appropriate testing and preventive care.

A little preparation before your trip can help keep your pet safe and healthy while you enjoy your travels.

Heads up! 🐾 If you know anyone traveling with dogs or ferrets to or from Mexico, both the Mexican and U.S. governments have halted all imports and exports of these animals, effective immediately.

Black Fly Season Is Here — Protect Your Pets

As the weather warms up, so do the black flies. These tiny biting insects are especially active during spring and early summer, and their bites can cause significant swelling and irritation in dogs.

Black fly bites are most commonly found: • Around the eyes
• On the ears
• Along the muzzle and nose
• Occasionally on the belly or areas with thinner hair

What do black fly bites look like? • Small red bumps or welts
• Swelling around the face or eyes
• Crusty or scab-like spots
• Sudden puffiness that can appear overnight

While many bites are mild and self-limiting, some dogs can have stronger allergic reactions causing discomfort, itching, or dramatic facial swelling.

Here are some examples of what black fly bites can look like in dogs:

Tips to help protect your dog: • Avoid wooded and swampy areas during peak fly activity
• Limit outdoor time during dawn and dusk
• Ask your veterinarian about safe insect repellents for pets
• Keep pets indoors if black flies are especially heavy in your area

Contact your veterinarian if your dog develops severe swelling, difficulty breathing, excessive itching, lethargy, or if you are unsure whether the lesions could be something more serious.
