I'm so glad you were able to get through to your regular vet, and that you can take Ripley in tomorrow. In the meantime, hopefully you can get him to eat a little, and at least, the fluids will keep him from getting dehydrated. With all the drooling, he may have some problem with his mouth or teeth, although Billy did drool quite a bit too, but never had a problem with his mouth or teeth...Who knows?(It'd be great if they could talk, huh?)

Hopefully your vet can figure out what's going on with him...Poor, sweet old man...It's so tough to see them feeling so bad, when there's only so much that you can do to help them.

Hang in there...
Hugs and prayers for you all!
