Answer
He has probably developed an infection related to his surgery. Drooling is a symptom of pain or nausea.
If you cannot take his temperature but he feels warm, I would treat him as though he DOES have a fever.
Wipe him down with a cool damp cloth and then immediately wrap him in a towel so he does not chill.
A high fever and a systemic infection is very serious and dangerous as well. Take him imediately to a veterinarian ASAP as soon as you cool him down.
Please let me know how he is when you come back.
