If he has rabies, there is nothing that can be done, except to put him down. Have you seen a vet? He is the only one who could make the diagnosis.

You need to get the dog checked by a vet. A Vet isn't going to let a dog with rabies leave the hospital. If the dog has rabies there is absolutely nothing to can do for it except have it put down.
Don't let you dog suffer like that for no reason. Sadly, if it has rabies, it will die sooner or later. If you wait until later, you are putting yourself at danger and you are being cruel to your dog.
I'd have it checked out by a vet first to see what is wrong. I think dogs only live a couple of days with rabies. I could be wrong tho

First of all how do you know that it has rabies,rabies can only be determined when it's dead by the appearance of Negri bodies in the brain.To say that rabies is incurable is incorrect, if a human has come into contact with a suspected rabies infected animal and was bitten and then it was confirmed that it did have rabies,the person can receive the Pasteur treatment over 14 days and it will save that persons life.

If your dog has rabies, then he was diagnosed by a vet, and well you would have already discussed this with a vet. If you are just guessing that he has rabies because of something that happened, You should be at the vet and talking about what to do, cause you risk your life, and everyone else's that the dog comes into contact with. People's whose dogs have rabies aren't just allowed to continue on with the dog, it needs to be quarantined... So I guess you are just assuming that he might have rabies.. no medication you can buy, you need to talk to your vet.

If your dog had rabies he would already be dead since in order to confirm rabies the animal has to either have died naturally or have been euthanised and the head removed and sent to a lab to test brain tissue. This is they only way to get a confirmed diagnosis.
Also there is no cure for rabies. It is fatal.

Well if the Vet diagnosed rabies...you would have no option available and the dog would be gone from your sight...so do your dog (if you really have one) a favor, and look for real answers to real issues...

Rabies is fatal 100% of the time.
If your dog has it there is nothing other than putting the dog down. There is no cure for it and no medecine that can help.
