Hi and Welcome to YT!
I'm sure his neck is sore from this trauma, the skin may be chafed along with neck and mouth pain. If he does not show improvement, or has trouble eating, I would have the vet take a look at him, or if he continues to react painfully to handling by growling and biting. It will take time for him to heal, he should return to his normal loving self once he's feeling better. I wouldn't put him in situations around children until he's completely healed. He needs your support, protection, understanding, and extra TLC now and until he recovers. |
