Here are basic screwworm recommendations for horses - this can include donkeys and mules as well. Make sure to check under fly sheets daily!! Please do NOT mass deworm your horses every week unless you have been advised to by your veterinarian! We don’t want to increase parasite resistance! Check out Dr. Shawn’s video for his cattle (and food animal) recommendations!

Dr. Shawn has some basic recommendations for our clients for New World Screwworm in cattle. If you are a client and have more specific questions for your cattle, please call our office and we’ll set up a phone consult with Dr. Shawn.

We can only set up phone consults (telemedicine) with current and established clients due to Texas Law. We appreciate your understanding!

Screwworm has been confirmed in Zavala County. The first priority for all our producers and clients should be monitoring all animals on a daily basis for any wounds. This includes newborn animals with an umbilicus. Call our office if you have any questions and especially if you find an animal with a wound and find maggots. Our office phone number is 830-780-2170.

On June 3, 2026, the Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC) received confirmation of a detection of New World screwworm (NWS) in Zavala County, Texas. The best thing that livestock producers and animal owners can do to prevent infestation is to put eyes on their animals as often as possible, remain vigilant by implementing enhanced management practices to avoid creating wounds, and promptly report suspicious wounds.

Part 3/3 of castration tools. These are the main styles I use for horses (and the other vets use for other livestock). This video got longer as I wanted to explain so many things about the tools! Pardon my camera jitters when I explain how long to leave the crush on - you clamp for one minute for every year of age!

Part 2/3 Castration Tools. Banding techniques. Pro tip - use fresh bands every time, don’t use last year’s leftovers for this year’s calf crop! Also- tetanus vaccines!
