🪰 What Should Pet Owners Know About the New World Screwworm?

The New World screwworm is a parasitic fly whose larvae (maggots) can infest and feed on the living tissue of warm-blooded animals, including pets, livestock, wildlife, and, in rare cases, humans. These larvae typically enter through open wounds or areas of damaged skin and can cause serious tissue damage if left untreated.

While proper wound care and regular monitoring are essential, flea and tick preventives such as Bravecto® and Simparica® have demonstrated activity against New World screwworm larvae and may help reduce the risk of infestation in dogs.

We encourage pet owners to routinely check their pets for wounds, skin irritation, swelling, unusual discharge, or other signs of infection. If you notice any concerns, contact your veterinarian promptly. Early detection and treatment are critical to achieving the best outcome.

If you have recently traveled to South Texas or Mexico and have concerns about your pet's exposure, we are here to help. Feel free to schedule an examination with one of our veterinarians or give us a call at (806) 794-9000.

Zoe has had her spay. She is doing well and should be available for adoption as soon as she recovers from her spay. Her DNA is quite interesting--I believe her Mother is a Greyhound. Her sire--well I suppose that accounts for Zoe's very unique breeds combination. This is the sweetest Lurcher we have had in a long time. She is very affectionate and is catching on to leash walking. Compact at only 52 pounds and such a lovely, unique coat--stunning!! She will celebrate her 2nd bithday in December. Let us know if you want to meet her--she's really neat...

We had rescued Cassie a few weeks back. She was relinquished by a hunter that lives in this area. Thankfully, she was healthy! This sped up the time between our getting her and when she got spayed and medically cleared. Kirk and Brenda were mourning the loss of their lovely Lurcher named Laney. They wondered if they wanted to adopt again so soon--they wondered if they should stay dog-less for a bit? But--after they met Cassie--they wanted to adopt her. And she was so very happy to get into their SUV and enter their lives--look at all those smiles! Happy days ahead!

It was meant to be! Marcie adopted Darcie. We are so happy for both of them.
