Rabies cannot be cured. It may only be prevented via vaccinations. If a human is bitten by a suspected rabies animal, the vaccination must be administered within 2 hours of the bite so as to produce inhibitory antibodies against the rabies virus. But once a person is infected with rabies, they will be dead within 2 weeks. Rabies has a 100% Death Rate in non-vaccinated individuals unfortunately...

Why don't antibiotics treat Rabies?

According to the Indiana State Department of Health, rabies cannot be cured once symptoms appear. I found this information on their website October 23, 2008: Can rabies be cured? Once symptoms appear in humans, rabies can not be cured. There have been only a few human rabies survivors, and almost all suffered permanent neurological damage. Therefore, efforts are focused on preventing exposure or providing immunity that will prevent disease in those exposed. http://www.in.gov/isdh/20518.htm#Can%20rabies%20be%20cured?


Can rabies be caused by dog bite if the dog is not injected by anti-rabies?

Rabies can only occur if your dog is not vaccinated against rabies and if the dog that bit your dog has rabies. If it does not have rabies then your dog will not have rabies. But if you're still in doubt, see your Veterinarian.
