A SICK BAT, THAT WAS FOUND IN WATSONVILLE HAD RABIES. ALTHOUGH THE BAT IS NOT BELIEVED TO HAVE COME IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH ANY HUMANS (OR PETS), PEOPLE WHO MAY HAVE INTERACTED WITH IT ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONTACT A HEALTH CARE PROVIDER. THE SICK BAT WAS FOUND LAST THURSDAY ON THE 500 BLOCK OF EAST BEACH STREET IN WATSONVILLE.
IF A BAT, OR ANY OTHER ANIMAL, IS BEHAVING UNUSUALLY, PEOPLE ARE ENCOURAGED TO CONTACT THEIR LOCAL COUNTY HEALTH PROVIDERS. PEOPLE ARE ASKED TO MAKE SURE THEIR PETS ARE UP TO DATE ON THEIR PETS’ RABIES VACCINES AND OTHER SHOTS. A “HEALTHY DOGS SHOTS” FAIR IS SCHEDULED TO RUN FROM 1-4 P.M. AT RAMSAY PARK BASEBALL FIELD.
