When Bat rabies found in Heppner The Morrow Coun ty Health Department has been notified by Oregon State University veterinary diagnostics laboratory o f a positive bat for rabies. The bat was collected from a residence within the Hep pner city limits. This report prompts public health officials to rem ind people to protect themselves and their pets. Rabies is an infec tious viral disease that af fects the nervous system and is caused by exposure to a rabid animal. Exposure is usually through a bite but can also occur through scratches and saliva con tact with broken skin. It is alm ost alw ays fatal once symptoms begin. Bats play an impor tant role in the ecosystem, especially in controlling in sects and aiding agriculture, but a small percentage can carry rabies. Bats suffering from rabies will normally bite in self defense. However, they pose little danger to people who do not handle them. If you find a bat during daylight hours, it is most likely unhealthy and should be avoided. People can do two things to protect themselves and their pets from rabies. N ever handle bats. And make sure your cats and dogs are up to date on their rabies vaccines. All dogs are re quired by law to be vac cinated for rabies in O r egon. A lthough there is no rule in Oregon (except for M ultnom ah C ounty) that cats be vaccinated, it is recommended that they receive rabies vaccine and that they are kept up to date with boosters. The chances o f a cat coming in contact with sick or injured bats are quite high, as they are small animal predators.
