GAINESVILLE - For the second time this week, Hall County Animal Control officials say a rabid bat has been discovered inside a home; this time it happened at a house on Francis Trail in north Hall County.<br />
<br />
The latest case is the eleventh confirmed case of rabies in the county for the year.<br />
<br />
On Tuesday, Hall County Animal Control said a rabid bat was found in a home on Blue Ridge Drive in the city of Gainesville.<br />
<br />
As always, animal control officials are encouraging pet owners to keep pets up-to-date on rabies vaccinations, since pets are the most likely to come into contact with rabid animals.<br />
