A woman in Ladson, SC, found a juvenile bat pup on the ground in her back yard. She noticed her dog was trying to play with something on the ground and she walked over to discover a bat. The bat was uninjured but was severely emaciated. We provided guidance on how to safely contain the bat and located a bat-trained rescuer in the finder’s area. The baby was transferred to a rescuer where he/she will be hand-raised and released when old enough to survive.
