(Lake Oswego, OR) -- Officials at the Oregon Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory confirm that a bat found at a home in Lake Oswego has tested positive for rabies. In Oregon, bats are the main animal that carries rabies. Clackamas County Health Officer Dr. Sarah Present says while this bat did not bite any people or pets, rabies is serious. She advises that you protect your family by vaccinating your pets, feeding your pets indoors and keeping garbage in secure containers. Also, seal openings to attics, basements, porches, sheds, barns and chimneys. Do not handle any bat. Call a wildlife removal service.
