🚨🐾 URGENT PSA: NEW WORLD SCREWWORM HAS BEEN CONFIRMED IN TEXAS 🐾🚨

Several confirmed cases of **New World Screwworm (NWS)** have already been reported in Texas. If your pet spends time outdoors, it may be at risk.

⚠️ New World screwworm flies lay eggs in open wounds—including very small wounds that may go unnoticed. Frequent inspections and prompt treatment are essential.

🔍 Check outdoor pets regularly for:

✔️ Sores or wounds
✔️ Areas of irritation
✔️ Unusual drainage or swelling
✔️ Excessive licking or discomfort
✔️ A foul odor coming from a wound

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued Emergency Use Authorizations (EUAs) for medications that may be used to treat New World Screwworm infestations (myiasis), including:

🐶 **For Dogs**
• Credelio® (lotilaner)

🐱 **For Cats**
• NexGard COMBO® (esafoxolaner, eprinomectin, and praziquantel)

💙 At No-Kill RGV Coalition, we currently carry:

🐶 **Credelio for Dogs**
Because Credelio contains heartworm prevention, dogs **6 months of age and older must have a current heartworm test** before receiving it. We offer affordable heartworm testing at our community clinics.

🐱 **NexGard COMBO® for Cats**
A convenient monthly topical product that provides broad-spectrum parasite protection for cats.

⚠️ Early detection and treatment are critical. Please do not ignore even minor wounds.

📍 Visit us at any of our community clinics for your Credelio and NexGard needs.

Every pet deserves affordable healthcare, and together we can help protect our community's pets from this emerging threat.

🥰 A huge thank you to our amazing amigos over at Amigos of BARCC🙌🐾

🤗Your continued support plays a vital role in our spay and neuter efforts. Without your help, we wouldn’t be able to fix and prevent so many unwanted litters. Your generosity makes a lasting impact—not just on the animals, but on the entire community.🐾❤️

🐈🐩Since May 18th, we’ve spayed and neutered 580 animals for the public—a milestone we couldn’t have reached without you!💖

🥰Thanks to you, more pets are staying healthy, fewer animals are ending up in shelters, and we’re creating a more compassionate future together. 💙

🦴We’re so grateful to have you by our side!🦴
