Mud and Dog Poop Part 2
We found the bat. We went out looking the next morning. The little bugger is still alive. We put him in Tupperware (major EWWWWW factor) and called the vet and health department. Nobody seems that concerned but the canine culprit who was chewing on the bat gets an appointment for a rabies shot. She still had immunity from her last one but was due so she got it. The puppy is too young for a rabies vaccine so if she was bit and the bat had rabies...
They're shipping the bat to be tested. We should know by next Friday (except that's a government holiday so I'm hoping it'll be the Thursday before and not the following Monday). The two dogs who came in contact with the bat are being kept away from the kids until the test results come in. The vet didn't think it was necessary but I do. I don't see the point of taking the risk with the kids.
So that's the status of that. Fingers crossed that the results are negative.
