There has been several cases of rabid bats in Ky. This is a
consideration. I have to ask what the odds are of a bat getting in
the house, then what are the odds of it biting Copper or Thomas then
what are the odds of it being rabid. Each person must decide. Ky
accepts titers by the way (a really big surprise given how animals are
treated generally here).

Thank-you to all who responded. GREAT help! I loved the KY vet link
and the
thoughts about a holistic remedy to be used if vaccinating. I talked
to my
vet and he does have the purevax. He prefers the 3 year adjuvanted
rabies
but will use the purevax. He also has the internasal distemper. He
said it
is up to me what we do. He also mentioned, as did several people
here, that
the law and vet hospitalization require rabies. My dilemma there is,
if they
are sick enough to be hospitalized, they will be too sick to be
vaccinated
if they are not already vaccinated. My vet recommends agst titer
testing. He
said it is not accurate. Another vet did do titer testing on Frankie
and
found he was still covered for some of the distemper diseases but
not all.
We have had bats in the house twice. That is probably my biggest
worry. I do
think the entries have all been closed but we do live in the woods
and they
like to sleep behind our shutters.
I am still undecided about the vaccines, but I am better informed~
Thank-you!
