I was advised by my vet that in order to get around this that I should have a vet visit made in Austin a day prior to my departure back home. That way the vet in Texas can give my dog a clear bill of health report, so we can enter back into the state. I have been told by another guide dog handler, that you can use next guard plus to keep you dog free of the screw worm. However, I highly recommend that you check about this with your own vet.<br>Sincerely, <br>Veronica Quinn Acting PA guid dog division president <br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>NFBP-Talk mailing list<br>NFBP-Talk@nfbnet.org<br>http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/nfbp-talk_nfbnet.org<br>To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for NFBP-Talk:<br>http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/nfbp-talk_nfbnet.org/passle%40roadrunner.com<br></div></div></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
