New World screwworm has been detected in northern Mexico, just 90 miles from the U.S. border, raising serious concern for U.S. producers.

Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller is urging ranchers to stay alert, warning the pest has not yet been contained and poses a direct threat to livestock and the food supply.

USDA has recently updated the NWS Response Playbook. See here for guidance: https://www.aphis.usda.gov/news/agency-announcements/usda-releases-updated-new-world-screwworm-response-playbook

Answer Thursday! This guy developed osteomyelitis (bone infection) from a long standing abscess. The infection is outlined in green. The white outline is called the crena and is a normal feature. So when is an abscess more than an abscess? Let's discuss!
They should follow this timeline, if they don't: Call us!
Day 0–2:
Sudden, often severe lameness. Classic abscess signs.
Reasonable to try basic first steps: stall rest, a poultice or soaking, protective bandage, and monitoring.
By Day 3–5:
You should see clear improvement or active drainage.
If your horse is still markedly lame, uncomfortable, or worsening, this is the point to call us.
Call us immediately if:
Lameness is extreme or non–weight bearing
Heat and swelling extend above the hoof
Your horse becomes systemically unwell
You’re unsure whether it’s actually an abscess

Why waiting too long matters:
Most hoof abscesses resolve uneventfully.
Some do not. And when they don’t, the problem is rarely just “a stubborn abscess.”
Common problems from untreated or prolonged abscesses:
1. Tract formation
Abscesses follow the path of least resistance. That can mean tracking:
Up the hoof wall
To the coronary band
Deeper into sensitive structures
These tracts can be difficult to fully resolve without intervention.

2. Chronic infection
What starts as a localized pocket of infection can become persistent, painful, and recurrent.

3. Coffin bone involvement (osteomyelitis)
This is the big one.
Infection can spread to the coffin bone, leading to:
Prolonged lameness
Advanced imaging needs
Long treatment courses
A guarded prognosis in some cases

4. Secondary laminar damage
Ongoing inflammation and pressure can compromise hoof structures beyond the original abscess site.
The takeaway we want you to remember
✅ Abscesses are common
✅ Most are straightforward
🚩 But lack of improvement is information
Calling us sooner rather than later doesn’t mean you’re overreacting. It means you’re preventing small problems from becoming big, expensive, long-term ones.
