Are New World screwworms dangerous to pets now?
Pet owners are asking how they can protect their dogs and cats from the New World screwworm after a dog in New Mexico became the first non-domestic animal to become infected with the current coronavirus outbreak in the United States this week. Veterinarians told USA TODAY to prevent infection and to check your pet for any wounds that could harbor screwworms. Check the wound regularly for unusual swelling, discharge, or a bad odor, as there may be fly larvae in the wound. Also, watch for changes in behavior, as your pet may feel pain, lick or chew the wound, and experience loss of appetite or lethargy.
