The hot weather has distressed many bats, and weโre seeing more cases of pets coming into contact with them. Do NOT touch batsโthey can carry Australian Bat Lyssavirus (ABLV).
If your pet has been bitten or scratched:
1๏ธโฃ Keep them away from the bat.
2๏ธโฃ Contact us immediately for advice and treatment.
3๏ธโฃ Call RSPCA 1300 ANIMAL or a local wildlife rescue for the bat.
Your safety and your pet's health are our priority. Stay safe and let the professionals handle wildlife! You can read more on our blog here: https://loom.ly/68pX-RA
