Lane County Rabies Bat
(Eugene, OR) -- Another rabid bat has been found in Lane County. It's the third bat this year to test positive for rabies. Health officials remind everyone that other animals could be exposed to rabies, which is a viral disease affecting the nervous system of mammals. Pet owners are urged to make sure dogs and cats are up to date on their vaccinations. You should assume all bats carry the virus. So far this year, 13 bats in Oregon have been confirmed to have the disease.
