I have a chiuaua(or how ever you spell it) and she hasn't had her rabies vaccination shot in 8 years! She has been acting very different! She's very irritable, has a loss of appetite, her bark doesn't sound the same, she seems to be distracted, and her jaw will drop out of nowhere and she'll like bite as if she's eating something but there's nothing there! She is just acting really weird and she has bit my mom and my dad!! please help me guys.

Your parents need to get themselves and that dog to the vet as soon as possible!! It's better to be safe than sorry!!!
Hope everyone will be ok.
Best wishes!

Take that poor little pooch to the vet ASAP!! That doesnt sound like rabies to me BUT it does sound like the pup has a serious health issue which you need to have addressed RIGHT NOW!! Your poor doggie may have something a lot more serious going on with her and you're killing her every second you wait for an BEST ANSWER to pop up on your screen.........
CALL NOW!! If it was your life and your health you'd call immediately so if you LOVE your pup I suggest you get off this damn computer and on the phone with some PROFESSIONAL help for her because she may be dying of cancer or something more serious and you're wasting her precious time.
Or maybe itsnot that serious but an issue which can only be addressed by a VET............SO GET HER THERE ALREADY!!!!

Take her to a vet. If she doesn't have rabies, she needs a vaccination anyway. It could be something as simple as the dog going into heat, but you should take her to the vet!
And have your parents get checked out, too. People can get rabies and die.

It sounds to me like you and your family are not owning up to your responsibility as pet owners. You have left your dogs immune system open to many different dangers and put the family's health at risk. What u need to do is take that dog to the vet, get it checked out and get its shots. Then give the dog to someone who will TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND TAKE CARE OF THE DOG. This dog's life depends on you and has been neglected. If someone who knows you finds out about it (and I hope they do) you will all go to jail for animal abuse.

take it to the vet ASAP. if youve been bitten or anything you need to see a doctor. rabid animals dont like water, you could see how it reacts to water as a quick little test. but take it to the vet whether the water bothers it or not, rabies is a very dangerous disease and you dont want to take chances

VET! NOW! don't give the dog water, it'll make it behave worse if it really is rabies.
