 :welcome:
Was his mouth checked? Dropping food can be a sign of dental problems, how old is he?

definitely sounds as if his mouth is sore - can you puree some food for him until you can take him back to the vet?

Might be an idea to ring the on call vets for advice, hope he feels better soon :hug:

I agree, give them a ring and get some advice and then make an appointment first thing tommorrow with his vet, he could have problems after his dental

agree with going back  to  your vet.  and nice soft food  pos he has got some thing in a hole where the tooth came out???   and a bit of pressure on the jaw ?

Good luck and  :welcome: on here

I hope he will be ok, it could be as simple as a nerve causing him pain  :hug: :hug:

Poor boy, it may just be the after effects of the trauma and post-nerve pain hopefully  :hug:
