Symptoms of rabies are excessive foaming at the mouth and neurological symptoms which can include atsia, severe aggression, muscle twitches, etc. I sure do hope that your puppy does not have rabies. If you suspect he does then it is highly recommended to take him to your nearest veterinarian right away for an evaluation. Best of luck to you. Take care.
