Hello, sorry to hear about Mango. The not eating and drooling make me worry about some form of dental disease or being nauseous from an upset GI tract. These possibilities should be explored thoroughly by your veterinarian. Mango may need an oral exam and full blood work to start. He may eventually need an abdominal ultrasound. You can offer him a bland diet of plain white rice, skinless and boneless boiled chicken and low fat cottage cheese to see if he will eat some. If he is not better by tomorrow then have his veterinarian evaluate him. Hope this helps and best of luck
