Do bats have seizures? I received a big brown bat yesterday with no obvious injuries. She was found lying on the ground and the homeowner couldn't get her to...
I have seen what we have decided were probobly seizures in an Artibeus literatus (Trinidad fruit bat). He would fall and shake/twitch and then be totally...
That's pretty symptomatic of end stage rabies. Is she drinking? I've had rabid bats eat, but they almost always refuse to drink. There are any number of things...
I've considered rabies and am taking precautions. I don't see anything else that points in that direction. She drinks, legs are normal not tucked, etc. She...
I would have to guess either head trauma or rabies encephalitis. I've seen them still able to eat in the early stages; if she stops eating in the next day or...
There's something new I can offer to those wanting necropsies on bats. As always, I'm happy to do the gross necropsy for free, but that doesn't often tell us...
Chicken feed uses some of the same components that go into plant based pet kibbles. I'm sure this ingredient has been in the animal food supply for a long...
Has anyone out there successfully treated this condition and/or know why it happens? I'm assuming nutritional issues are involved. Thanks, Laura Flandreau ...
Yup--if you bump the essential fatty acids in the diet, it seems to go away, and humidity seems to play a part. I have some bats who depigment over the winter...
I am leaning more and more toward head trauma. Her seizures are less often and less intense. Her breathing seems to be better also, but she is still fairly...
BALLSTON SPA, New York (AP) -- An upstate New York couple didn't think a few bats in the attic were much of a problem when they were buying a house last...

I had my first cage of wing depigmentation this winter (just a couple of weeks ago) and I gave the bat (a male Big Brown) a little Nutrical every other night...
Please forgive my Austrian ignorance but does somebody know if Nutrical has an equivalent in Europe or if it is availabe here? I do not take care for any...
I do think you have to be careful with nutrical (and I don't know the European equivalent--I'm sure there is one.) Nutrical is fat and sugar with some...
I just received a call from a woman in Illinois. Her husband rescued several bats who were trapped in a house for about one week. She stated they were quite...
We are working on getting the bats some help. She has offered them water and they have been drinking, but she is far away from me. I will see if I can get...
