    it could be a combination of a few things, 

    1 - change his diet back to normal. some vets say soft food, other say hard food so it wont fill the spaces where the teeth have been removed.

    2 - he could be having a reaction to the antibiotics and or painkillers. but finish the short course off.

    3. stress from visiting the vets.

    Concentrate on getting the diet back to normal
