Although I have little experience in this area, my theory is that some issue is keeping your dog from drinking, and that has gone on for long enough that he/she has developed a dry mouth, a sign of dehydration. But in conclusion, I have no idea what triggered this. It sounds like your sheltie has a health problem (could be a gastrointestinal issue) and needs to be taken to the vet directly, if only to get some fluids into him/her.

Should you put Anbesol in your mouth if you have a dry socket?

I would not recomend putting anything in your mouth that will increase the poteintial for sensitivity or pain to your dry socket. The dentist that you see should have dry socket paste to apply for you. Try your best to keep your mouth free of cold air, and do not drink from a straw,smoke any cigarettes ,spit forcefully,or swish your mouth when brushing your teeth.
