Monthly Spotlight - Rabies / Rabid bats are found every year in LA County. In Southern California, rabid bat season usually
starts in May or June and peaks in August tapering off around October and November. In 2021, 68 rabid bats were found throughout
LA County. This is the highest recorded number of rabid bats found in LA County since testing of bats for rabies began in 1961. So
far in 2022, thirteen rabid bats have been found in LA County. One bat was found inside of a house, one bat was found in a parking
lot, one bat was found inside of a business, and ten bats were found outside of houses.
LA County pets that have been exposed to a rabid bat or bat where rabies status is unknown should have a rabies vaccination booster
and must be under quarantine by LA County Veterinary Public Health. Ensure that your clients' pets, including indoor-only cats, are
kept up to date with rabies vaccination. Pets that are not up to date on rabies vaccines and have contact with a wild mammal must be
under quarantine for 180 days, while the quarantine is 30 days if they are up to date. Any bat that had potential exposure to a human
or a pet should be collected by animal control and tested by the Department of Public Health. For rabies risk consultations or to
report an exposure, call 213-288-7060 or email vet@ph.lacounty.gov. Office hours are Monday through Friday 8AM-5PM.
