Let's talk about bats, bab-y.

Woah. I just got invited to speak in front of a class full of veterinarians on bats! We need more vets to become wildlife-friendly in GA, and this one day a week, 10 week long class is designed to make vets and vet techs more familiar with handling wildlife and doing triage on them so they'll be more willing to help us wildlife rehabbers. Most vets shy away from bats (there's a huge liability if you have a rabies vector species in your vet clinic), but hopefully some will learn something out of my talk and be more comfortable handling bats and doing general triage on them.

I can't believe I just agreed to speak in front of veterinarians! The class is three hours long, but I definitly won't be speaking for that long. I'm supposed to give general facts and information about bats, talk about RVS licensing in Georgia, then discuss handling, feeding, and housing for them. And show them a bat. :-) I'm so excited, and nervous! I'll be talking to vets like I know more than they do. lol
