My dog licked a bat...help?

[kosar]

My god lads this has turned into a bigger ordeal than i could have imagined.

Let me catch you up.

So I walk out of my apartment looking like a complete douche armed with my shoe box and dust pan.

I walk two blocks to the spot and there the disgusting thing is.. Still lying there lifeless. I figure it had to be dying or something to be laying out on the ground in the middle of the day..

I threw a few pebbles.. no movement

So going in a felt pretty confident. However as soon as the dust pan touched that phucker he came alive.. Wings flapping and an awful screeching sound.. scared the bejesus out of me but I kept going. Thats when this flying rat snapped out of it and flew off! I tried to swat it with the dust pan but to no avail.

He flew right by my shoulder and I immediately had that feeling like it was in my hair.. you know that feeling like bugs are crawling all over you..

So there I am squirming around like an idiot with a dust pan and a shoe box in the middle of the sidewalk before i remembered I was in the middle of downtown in rush hour.

People were staring. It was not my coolest moment.

So you didn't get him?

So I show up to the vet with no bat.

They say bring in the dog in the morning. They will take blood work and find out from animal control what to do.

So I take him in this morning and they inform me that he needs a booster for his rabies shot. No surprise..

But then they tell me that since they dont have the bat to test, the health dept needs to quarantine my dog for 45 days!

I scream bull shit. I threw enough of a fit that the doc finally contacted these assholes and explained that there was no bite. And that the dog was current on his rabies shots.

So the health dept issues an "In house quarantine" Some asshole is going to come over tomorrow and inspect my house to make sure it is suitable for a 45 day quarantine. He is to have zero contact with animals and only allowed out on his leash to piss..

A few problems. First off we have a cat. I am thinking of hiding him when this guy comes over tomorrow.

Second the wife in I are traveling to Bogata Colombia Aug 7th. We were going to leave him with my parents. Now I dont know if I can do that.

I could lie but if this guy comes over from time to time to make sure the dog is in the house Im fucked! The paper work says non compliance and the dog will be euthanized..

God damnit why did he lick that phucking bat!

dust pan? :mj07:

Yeah sorry Jack I left my "Bat Catching Set" in my wifes car..

Its all i could muster up:mj07:

 

[theGibber1]

So you didn't get him?

NOPE

I guess I woke him up or whatever.. As soon as I tried to scoop him up he took off..

Disgusting creature

This is exactly what happened when I woke up Kosar from one of his famous naps!

You're chippy tonight I guess, fuckwad. Anyways, i'm honestly sorry that you're not making the golf thing.

leave the dog with your wife and go to Columbia by yourself

:00hour

 

[theGibber1]

HAHA

A few problems with that idea. For one my wife is Colombian. We are going there for her dads birthday. I would feel strange showing up without her.

And oh yeah.. I dont speak a lick of Spanish

dust pan? :mj07:

"bat containment apparatus"...

 

[SixFive]

I had a bat on my porch one time too like the guy posted. I just figured it was dead and ran into the door, but it too flew off screeching like crazy! :scared

Hope your dog is ok. Sounds like it is time to get a new vet. Seems he was a douche for calling animal control. Those guys are worse than mall cops and have no more knowledge about animals than you or me! BS is right!

 

[gardenweasel]

btw...45 daya seems a bit overdone...our cat was a stray that showed up on our deck...it nipped me playfully,but broke the skin.... i had to have it quarantined at the vet for 10 days...

 

[Axle]

Found one in my garage once, it started flying around and I'll be damned if it didn't scare the shit out of me :scared .......probably too many vampire movies as a kid....LOL.

A racquet ball racquet took care of that MF.....made sure it was dead, picked it up with some work gloves and bagged it in a plastic bag and tossed in a trash bin.... end of story. :SIB

Ok the inspector came by today to start the 45 day quarantine...

Since the wife and I are leaving the country in a few weeks I kinda poked around to the idea of what would happen if we left and took the dog.

He said if an inspector came by to check the dog and we were not here they would leave a notice. They will leave a total of three notices before issuing a citation.

Citations will continually be issued until we return

Each citation is $2,000!!!!

WTF am i going to do?

Anyone want to babysit a dog for 12 days??

 

[MadJack]

Anyone want to babysit a dog four 12 days??

not a rabid one :142smilie

 

[theGibber1]

not a rabid one :142smilie

God damnit he is fine!

The vet said this entire ordeal is ridiculous!

There was no bite

He was current on his shots and had another one yesterday.

Unless he licked inside the bats mouth the doc says we are ok

So come on Jack! I contribute a lot to this site!

NFL winners day in and day out..

Get your ass down here and babysit!

seriously, tho. you're just going to have to miss the birthday party and go another time :shrug:

what were you going to do with the dog anyway, had this not happened? leave the dog with your parents.
