    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.

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