Folks, I need everyone in New Mexico to pay attention to this one. New World Screwworm has been confirmed in our state. Right now we have one known case, a dog from Lea County who is being treated at a veterinary clinic in Andrews County, Texas.
A lot of us remember the last time we dealt with screwworm. It was a serious fight, but we got it done. The key factor to that success was that ranchers, farmers, veterinarians, and neighbors all stayed alert and worked together. That is exactly what we need right now.
And please know, this is not just a cattle issue. Screwworm can affect all kinds of livestock, wildlife, and yes, your dogs and cats too. If you notice any animal with an unusual wound or acting like something is not right, do not brush it off! Report it and get it looked at.
The answer here is not panic. It is paying attention and looking out for each other, the way our communities out here always have.
I want to hear from you. What are you seeing? What do you think we can do as a community to get out ahead of this? Share this post and let's start that conversation.
Please take a look at https://t.co/p5rfaZQCvY for more information. Stay vigilant so we can eradicate this potential spread of the New World Screwworm.

@DungeonNoir It’s sad that the meds he had used to tough it out his tour killed him. He had a lot more injuries, going on ,than his hip alone. All extremely and constantly painful on its own. Tom was a man of his word & did not back down https://t.co/FUP8sofStN
