Rabies is a viral disease that is almost universally fatal once clinical symptoms appear in both humans and dogs. Unfortunately, there is no effective treatment for rabies once a dog starts showing symptoms. The best approach is prevention through vaccination.

If a dog is bitten by a potentially rabid animal, immediate action is crucial. The dog should be taken to a veterinarian as soon as possible. If the dog is vaccinated against rabies, a booster shot may be administered, and the dog will be closely monitored. If the dog is unvaccinated or the vaccination status is unknown, the dog may need to be quarantined or euthanized, depending on local laws and regulations regarding rabies exposure.

To prevent rabies, ensure your dog is vaccinated according to your veterinarian's recommendations, and keep them away from wild animals that may carry the virus. Regular check-ups and vaccinations are essential for your dog's health and safety.
