Important Issues and Rabies

IMPORTANT: The medical care of bats requires a lot of experience. Often severely injured animals can recover. If you have no experience with bats, please bring the bat immedately to the next bat-expert. Never try to take care of a bat yourself. To care for bats needs much experience and special facilities you don't have.
Please note that the natural defense behavior of bats, especially when the animals are in pain, can easily be confused with rabies symptoms.
For all medical questions about the bats, please contact directly Bat World Sanctuary
