Yes. Where was it found and what type of bat? Puget Sound has 10 different types of bats. A quick read-up was useful. Rabies causes bats to fall to the ground. Less than 1% of the bat population has rabies, but 5-10% of bats tested by the Department of Health test positive for rabies. Rabies transmission to humans happens by biting when we handle one that has fallen to the ground. (Wear gloves. Use a cardboard wedge to sweep it into a box.) Dogs and cats need to stay current with their rabies vaccines because euthanasia and/or six-months' quarantine are within treatment protocols.
