It has been reported to us that a bat has tested positive for rabies in the Village of Ashley, Ashley, Ohio area. Please always take the following precautions if you or your family come in contact with a bat:
🦇 If you can, safely capture the bat then call the Health District at (740) 368-1700. If the bat can be safely captured, it can be euthanized and tested for rabies. Follow these instructions for safe capture: cdc.gov/rabies/bats/contact/capture.html
🦇 If you come into direct contact with a bat, talk with your doctor about appropriate care, especially if the animal cannot be submitted for testing.
🦇 If a pet comes into direct contact with a bat, please contact the Health District about appropriate quarantine and veterinarian care.
🦇 Keep your pets up to date on their rabies vaccinations.
It's important to note that bat bites can be so small they can go undetected, therefore a person asleep, impaired, mentally disabled or a child may not know they were bitten. If a bat is found in the same room with one of these individuals it is considered an exposure, and you should call your doctor for appropriate care.

Please note that "come in contact with a bat" doesn't include you simply saw one. Injured or downed bats can be reported to licensed wildlife rehabilitators. There is no reason to needlessly slaughter these beneficial animals for no reason.
I would have labeled this as a Bat Report. Robin could have assisted.
I wonder who gave it to the poor thing
Mosquito spraying is set for tomorrow in Marlboro Township as a result of a trap testing positive for WNV.
