Thank you for all the positive thoughts, suggestions, etc.
We have not heard yet whether the bat is rabid.
The bat entered a home through a tiny opening in an attic and then entered my daughters bedroom. According to the health dept. this causes more concern.
Our vet has nothing to do what is happening right now. There is rabies in our area, if a bat gets in you are ask to bring it to the health dept. for testing. This is what my daughter did.
Exposure to rabies requires 6 months of quarantine because it can take that long to develop.
There is no wheeling and dealing or negotiating with the NY State Health Dept. Up to date vaccination or the seize the animal. At which point we can pay dearly to begin treatments and 6mo of quarantine or put him down.
Thank you for the prayers, I will update as soon as I know something.
