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

          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.
