UMMM–didn’t we find a bat on the porch?!
Joshua Hernandez Dave Partis and you told me they are ok???
Rabies is treatable
Joshua Hernandez not ok
Context, please. We have more wilderness area than most of LA County
That explains all of the bats seeking swimming pools and front porches to die. You have an excellent point, however. There could be how many more infected bats breeding in the surrounding wilderness?
I am most concerned for pets. If we don’t observe them near a rabid animal, our children and families (other pets) are facing even greater risk.
Perspective.
A reminder for all animal owners — make sure your animals’ rabies shots are up to date. This includes horses and ferrets, which can indeed be vaccinated against rabies, and cats which often get overlooked because they don’t have to be licensed. Any mammal can get rabies.
There has been a problem with rabid bats for years. In 2013 we found a bat hanging onto the pool hose, it was very small. We contacted animal control and they came and picked it up. Three days later we got a call that the bat was rabid and that we needed to take our pets to the Vet and ourselves to the Doctor. I live near a mountain and I see a bat flying around at least once a week, except when its very cold, they seem to prefer warmer weather. The best thing to do is look out for them and dont let your pets out at night. It is my experience that they are more afraid of us than we are of them.
Life.
