Hello Roland,

 Rabies is one of the reasons I suggested submission, and wearing gloves.
It's certainly something I do take seriously and was also why I recommended
telling government officials about this behaviour so they would be alerted
and it could be recorded and collected safely. Rabies is indeed present in
Nova Scotia and something to be concerned about in any mammal acting
uncharacteristically.

Thanks

Helene

         I find it interesting that in the comments about bats unusual
behavior no one has mentioned the word "rabies". A bat was found with rabies
here in Shelburne  County not too many years ago , and I suppose that
everyone knows why bats that show unusual behavior should be avoided and if
possible, tested. Rabies is not something to take lightly. Must we wait
until someone catches rabies before we take ir seriously?

      Hi Jim,
      Seems early for activity and unusual and I don’t really know how to
explain it.  Regardless if the animal does die and is found I believe that
the animal should be submitted to my colleague at the vet college at PEI
(Dr. Scott McBurney).  Scott, I know, would certainly have an interest in
taking a look and I am sure we would be all interested to hear what, if
anything he finds usual.  As per one of the respondents emails, it is
correct that the animals should NOT be handled bare handed in the event that
it is an ill animal.
      Let myself and/or Scott know and we will make arrangements and provide
instructions for shipment to PEI.

      HI there, this sounds like pretty unusual behaviour for a bat,
especially in the daytime. She might want to contact dept of natural
resources and if it does die, consider having the body submitted for post
mortem. They will likely collect it for her since its a bat but if it does
die, gloves should ALWAYS be worn when touching a bat

        Hi,

        A friend sent me this message this evening. She lives in Scotts Bay.
Can anyone shed any light on this?

        Thanks,

        Richard


        "Hi Richard. ............... What do you know about bats? I have one
that dive bombs me whenever I'm outside in the afternoon. It's horrible - I
can't sit in the sun or bring in the laundry. It happened the last two years
as well. We usually find it's body after a day or two. Is this normal?"
