| Rabies Only Submissions
Please Note: To determine the cost of your submission please add together the Brain Removal fee, Rabies FA, and Carcass Disposal Fee (if over 40lbs).
- Bat Submission Guidelines. No live animals will be accepted by the laboratory. CVMDL will not accept animals that are submitted in animal traps of any kind for diagnostic testing, e.g. necropsy, rabies testing. Visual inspection of animals will be made at submission, and requests for service may be turned away if animals are live or needing extraction from traps. Bats should be in a clear container to facilitate a visual assessment of status. Live bats submitted through couriers will be returned via the same courier at the submitter’s expense. If bats reported as deceased are found alive a hazardous euthanasia fee of $200.00 will be added to the case.
