🪰 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.

Some dogs were just born to explore. 🏔️🐕 If you've got an active breed at home, May is peak season for trail adventures together. Just make sure your pup is protected from ticks, the heat, and rough terrain before you head out! 🌲 Where's the best trail you've ever hiked with your dog?

Receptionists aren’t “just the front desk.” Not even close. 💙

They’re the calm during emergencies, the friendly voice on a stressful day, and the ones making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes.

In a small clinic like ours, they wear all the hats—and somehow still keep smiling.

Tell us in the comments: what’s something a receptionist has done that made your visit better? We’d love to share the love with our team! 🐾

If you think your job is busy… come hang out at our front desk for 10 minutes. 😂

At any moment, our receptionists are:
📞 Answering phones
🗓 Scheduling appointments
🐶 Checking in wiggly patients
💊 Handling meds & records
😅 And answering “just one quick question” (you know the one)

All at the SAME time.

They make it look easy—but we know better.
Give them some love below if you’ve ever witnessed the front desk chaos in action! 👇
