Well a buddy of mine found a bat in the backyard here in Portland. Went to dispose of it and the thing was still alive! He called the Audubon Society – they wanted him to bring it in for rehab, which meant no rabies test. The animal can only be tested if dead. The bad had an accident, died, and he sent it to Oregon State to be tested. It was positive! Lesson, do not handle bats without extreme care, make sure your pets are vaccinated, and get the creature tested. https://www.multco.us/multnomah-county/news/rabid-bat-found-northeast-portland https://www.multco.us/multnomah-county/news/rabid-bat-found-...
