Summary
Screwworms are spreading across Texas—and yes, your pets are at risk. While treatable, don’t wait: get your furry friends checked by a vet if you spot signs. The FDA just approved an over-the-counter treatment for dogs and cats, but professionals still say early diagnosis is key. Travis County declared a disaster zone, urging vigilance—even without local cases—since the nearest confirmed case was a goat in Gillespie County. Austin shelters are prepared, but pet owners should stay alert and act fast if anything seems off. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
