Your voice for OVMA at AVMA 🐾

Started bright and early with the 6 a.m. Allied Caucus meeting. Thank you, Dr. Jones and Dr. Giles, for representing our members and advocating for Oklahoma veterinary professionals!

Proud to represent the veterinary profession and honored to be recognized as one of the Faces of Oklahoma Agriculture. Thank you for this recognition and for celebrating the impact of Oklahoma veterinarians.

Happy Fourth of July from the Oklahoma Veterinary Medical Association!

As you celebrate with family and friends, don't forget to keep your furry family members safe, too. Fireworks, summer heat, and festive foods can all pose risks to pets.

**ANIMAL MOVEMENT RESTRICTION UPDATE**
While there has not been a confirmed case of New World Screwworm in Oklahoma, ODAFF continues to work closely with our partners at USDA to monitor its spread.

Please see the updated animal movement restrictions below.

New World Screwworm is an invasive pest that primarily infests livestock and wildlife but will infest any warm-blooded mammal. New World Screwworm does not impact food and the food supply is safe.

It is important to frequently inspect all livestock, pets and captive wildlife for signs of NWS.

Report any suspicious wounds or suspected cases of NWS immediately to your local veterinarian, local County Extension Agent, or the ODAFF State Veterinarian at 405-522-6141.
