First off, I am so very sorry that Lawiswis died today! If he had rabies, you would see significant behavioral changes such as aggression, and rabies is passed via bites not licking. If he had blood in his stool and wasn't eating, I would be very concerned he had parvovirus. It's a life threatening GI infection in unvaccinated dogs and puppies that is too often fatal and causes bloody stool and anorexia. That would be the most likely cause of his death, and you cannot get parvovirus. In the future, make sure any puppy you gets vaccines from the vet. Again, I am so very sorry for your loss :-(
