The US Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (USDA APHIS) has confirmed New World screwworm in an elk harvested on a game ranch in Pecos County, Texas. It is the first confirmed detection in US wildlife since the parasite’s return.
Officials are urging hunters, landowners, and veterinary professionals to watch for larvae in wounds or body openings, open or foul-smelling wounds, and animals showing signs of distress. Suspected infestations in live or very recently deceased wildlife should be reported promptly.
The FDA has approved Convenia RTU for Dogs, a higher-concentration, ready-to-use formulation of the injectable antibiotic cefovecin for certain bacterial skin infections, abscesses, and wounds.
The new formulation contains 160 mg/mL, twice the concentration of the original product, and can provide up to 14 days of treatment with a single injection.
Convenia RTU is approved for dogs only. Two inactive ingredients may be toxic to cats, so the product should not be used in felines.
