As a matter of fact, I have! I worried that it might attract MORE bats.....not sure what the outcome would be. I do love bats and, of course, let the last one out (my cats killed the first one and I only found body parts). Because the second one was in the bedroom area, we all had to have the rabies series of shots! There was a presumption we'd been bitten. If there is a next time I won't tell anyone...

That may keep them out of the house :-) http://www.batconservation.org/content/Bathouseimportance.html -----Original Message----- From: Laurieskatz [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thu 3/4/2010 1:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] vaccinations 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!
