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.
