Summit County has seen a number of bats test positive for rabies. In a few cases, people and animals have been bitten by rabid bats. Luckily, most cases were treatable. Unfortunately, one case has brought a pet owner and the staff at Animal Control an immense amount of grief. An elderly lady, who owned three small dogs, found a bat in her house. The dogs had mauled it. but it was still' alive. She picked it up and called animal control. The hat was taken to the state lab and it tested positive for rabies. Two critical mistakes were made. Mistake number one was handling the bat. A hat bite cannot always be felt or seen. They are very small and have very small teeth. Fortunately, this lady was able to go through the series of shots as a preventative measure. If you run across a hat. always remember: Never Handle Bats. Call animal control and we will take care of it. The second mistake is the saddest. The owner had never had her dogs vaccinated against rabies. There is no series of shots to treat pets for post exposure. If they are unvacci-nate- d or their vaccines are expired and they are exposed to rabies, then, by law, there are only two options available. According to the Utah Department of Health, Bureau of Epidemiology, Unvaccinated dogs and cats exposed to a rabid animal should he euthani7ed immediately.
