You take him to the vet (calling first thing Monday morning).
Make sure he has water.
Try a few human enticements. Cooked plain rice and plain hamburger are common.
What is he doing, how is he acting, how old is he, are his gums pink? It can be a serious sign, from obstruction to twisted bowel to a tumor. Twisted bowel can be deadly, suddenly. Be sure you know where the nearest weekend/ER vet is.

No. White gums are a sign of loss of red blood cells, enemia. Pink is normal. First question is, is this a very young dog or a senior dog ?
twisted bowel, no, maybe not, that is serious for horses.

What's this 'no?' I didn't say that pink is BAD, DUH
And twisted bowel is common enough in DOGS

The burden is on you to explain what is wrong with my wording.

Appeared you were saying pink gums were not good. That is the way I read it.
