No if he was infected with rabies it would take much longer than that to have clinical signs. I would be more concerned about him having hurt his mouth in some way, or perhaps be somewhat sedated if he's on any pain medications. If it continues, I'd recommend going back for a recheck to see if they can see anything different in his mouth now that it's been a few days.
