    He may have suffered a stroke. Or the lip could be infected. Have a vet check him.

    Could be infected teeth even.
    It could be a no of things....but the moment you notice anything wrong with ur pet you must see a vet immediately!!good luck!

    It could be a sign of facial nerve paralysis, stroke, or some other neurological disorder. I prefer to read up about different dog diseases and symptoms on blogs like PetCareRx and PetMD. If you notice a sudden droop or sagging in your dog's lips, make sure you visit the vet ASAP.
