Put it in a sock for warmth, put a thin bowl of water in its mouth but it didn’t seel to drink/lap. Left on an upper floor window sill, shutters opened to a third.
Anything else I can do?
Get a rabies shot.
Nope. No rabies where I live, didn’t get bitten, and rabies vaccines don’t really work like that. They only buy you extra time.

This is wrong.
Tell that to my expat specialist doctor. Time for safe retrieval to an equipped hospital changed from 24h to 4 days with a vaccine.
If you get exposed to rabies there are two treatments.
-
Get the rabies post exposure treatment and have nearly a 100% success rate.
-
Try the Milwaukee protocol if symptoms develop.
With bats you don’t always know if you have been bitten.
Agreed. Was talking about the preventive shots. Well luckily I live in a place where rabies has been removed for decades.
Doesn’t mean my hands were always on the sock and far, very far from the mouth.
The rabies pre exposure treatment is nearly 100% successful as well.
I’ve said what I needed to so it’s up to you now.

Put it outside without being in a sock.
You don’t need to care for it. You aren’t helping anything, you are only making yourself feel like a savior.
