Prior to the 1880s and Pastuer's rabies vaccine there were several treatments that were largely ineffective.

Wound cauterization, vapor bathes (steam treatment with aromatics), sucking on the wound like a snake bite, applying of caustic substances (basically the same as cauterization, but through chemical means), applying the hair of the dog that bit you onto the wound, or eating the heart and/or liver of the animal that bit you.

This is where the modern term, "hair of the dog," as a hangover cure comes from.

How did they treat rabie animals on the Oregon trail?

If you mean animals with rabies they would be shot. I doubt they ran into many animals with rabies. I have read numerous diary entries written by people who were pioneers and not one mentioned animals with rabies. They wrote about dust, disease, death, birth, flooded wagons, the mountains and snow.

In the 1800's on the Oregon Trail a person who caught dysentery was in trouble from the start. Until Gregory Colloni of Italy, a pioneer on the trail, mixed leaves from a pine tree with water and egg white. The patients tried the potion and it worked successfully. Mr. Colloni is one of the unknown heroes of the world. If not for him, many more people would have died on the Oregon trail.
