Drooling, not eating
I got back from the vet. He said that there is no need for comparison with another pig, he looked at the chin, x-rays and said that the jaw position is, in his opinion, Ok.
According to the vet, the problem could be weak muscles. He made a chin-sling on the spot (he already knew about it). He said that this is the first time he made it, I hope it is working.

Personally, I do not recommend "making one on the spot". This is a patented product, not to mention you can get an excellent pattern to make your own from neoprene along with most excellent advice on tweaking it, sizing, and use from the designer. I would consider getting an offical pattern instead from Pinta.
It is not neoprene, but it is rubbery. The vet knew how the Chin-Sling works (though he knew the device under an another name). The drawback is that is not custom made by a somebody experienced.
The best option for me would be to order a custom made Chin-Sling, but it would take a few weeks to get them.
Unfortunately, his teeth (at least the incisors) have overgrown again, they will have to be clipped.
