My dog all of a sudden started drooling and has been pacing for about 5-10 minutes like he’s looking for somewhere to throw up. He’s pacing around the walls and behind the furniture

Drooling and heaving is usually a sign of nausea. In addition to the medicines prescribed by your veterinarian you can try the following as well:
I would fast Scarface for 24 hours and then him on bland food for two days, such as boiled white rice and boiled white boneless chicken meat, fed in small quantities over several feeds and then transition back to regular food slowly over a few days. If he does not improve he needs to be seen by your veterinarian for a recheck.
