The pioneers used lard on the burns. If the burns were really bad most often the person died. There were a lot of dangers on the journey and burns were the least of them. People died in flooded rivers, falling off of mountain passes, disease, wounds of various sorts, and childbirth. The women and children walked beside the wagon the whole way and the children would collect buffalo chips for the evening fires.

They shot it before it bit anyone or anything else and could spread the disease.

On the Oregon Trail, to cure Cholera they would give the infected person laudanum (an opium tincture useful in combating the disease). If the travelers didn't have laudanum, they would increase fluid and salt intake to prevent dehydration, and give the person lots of rest.
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.
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.
