Oregon health officials are warning people to protect themselves and their pets from rabies after finding five rabid bats since the beginning of 2008.
"People can take two precautions to protect themselves and their pets from bats and rabies," said Dr. Emilio DeBess, public health veterinarian in the Oregon Department of Human Services State Public Health Division. "Never handle bats; and make sure your cats and dogs are up to date on their rabies vaccines." |
