NO, not the flu. I would say if he is not alert and going this morning...I would take him to a vet. Gum quantitiy is a concern as well as the wrapper.
A rectal temp of between 100-102 if normal so if you have the ability take his temp.

Well with no fever..you are left watching clinical signs. I would not offer regular food, maybe something bland like rice and chicken broth.
But, I would call your vet, some have regular Saturday morning hours and then after those hours everything goes to an emergency clinic where the $$ is high. If you can, just have someone look at the dog this morning.
