I believe you are worried about rabies spread from bats. Don't worry, rabies are spread by vampire bat bite, and it is not in Indian. Bat varieties in our country are like any other small animal. Only if your dog eats them, he may get some infection, which causes food poisoning, bacterial infection, etc. If the bat is unharmed, then no worries. On top of it, your pet is vaccinated, so it is also an added advantage. So no worries.

There is less chance of getting rabies as india has fruit bats that don’t bite others. But in defence /struggle any wounds are possible. Kindly check your dog and yourself for any wound/injuries. If present please take your dog to your veterinarian .
