For fucks sake why do people keep doing this. If you find an injured animal don’t leave it in the sun…. I’ve seen so many people do this with birds, bat, shit even a dog once… you’re just cooking the animal in the sun!!!! Exposure kills! If you’ve been stuck in a pool with a light and UV reflecting all around you the whole time The last thing you want to do is be in more sun… especially if you’re a fucking BAT! Somewhere dark cool and dry.

And if you’re not in Australia then yeah, really worry about rabies. Thank fuck we don’t have that shit here

I just snort cackled. You have spiders that would kill a fucking elephant and little tiny jellyfish that y'all give cure names like sea wasp that kill people, and all manners of deadly shit. But thank fuck for no rabies!

I appreciated that laugh, thanks.

Yeah exactly no rabies!!!! It’s really important we never let that shit into this country, can you even imagine how fucking horrible this shit would be if it also had rabies.

We don’t have rabies but we do have ABLV which is another type of lyssavirus. And of course there is also Hendra virus, the one that went from bats to horses to humans and makes you die a terrible death hemorrhaging out of every possible orriface. Yeah I’m pretty much convinced lyssavirus from bats will be the cause of the zombie apocalypse. Bats = NOPE!!

It's winter. The pool is cold af. Bats are warm blooded animals. The little guy was freezing.

When he warmed up and dried off and turned back into a fuzzball, then I gave him some shade while he slept it off.

So kill it, immediately after going through the effort of saving it.

Thanks for saving the sky puppy! I hope the little guy is doing alright now.

Just to be on the safe side, please do see a doc about the rabies thing. We need good people like you to stay on this earth. 🤗
