IS RABIES CURABLE in Humans:
Once a rabies infection is established, there's no effective treatment. Though a small number of people have survived rabies, the disease usually causes death. For that reason, if you think you've been exposed to rabies, you must get a series of shots to prevent the infection from taking hold.
IS RABIES CURABLE IN Dogs:
No, there is no treatment for rabies in dogs once symptoms appear. Rabies is almost always fatal for dogs, and they are expected to die within a few days of showing signs.
