Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This can happen as a result of dental disease, nausea, among other possibilities. While this is not normal, it may be transient and not continue. For that reason, if it continues, I recommend you monitor him closely for further assessment and treatment. Good luck!
