Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry Baxter is feeling badly. Not eating, drooling, sluggishness are vague signs but not to be ignored. The fast food burger could be involved but many other things can cause the same presentation of signs. Intestinal parasites, dietary indiscretion (consuming things he shouldn't eat), food intolerance/sensitivity, pancreatitis, inflammation, infection, etc. Vomiting can also be associated with internal organ problems, toxins, etc. I would advise taking Baxter to your veterinarian if he doesn't bounce back quickly. Your vet can do a physical exam, take a history, and then formulate a diagnostic plan. After fecal exam, blood tests, X-Rays, and other tests, your vet can then formulate a treatment plan. I hope Baxter starts feeling better soon.
