This could be an allergic reaction or an infection. If he was around another dog there is a chance that he could have been snipped at by another dog as well. Since he didn't want to eat I would have your veterinarian check him out to ensure he doesn't need any medication like antibiotics, pain meds, or steroids. I hope this helps.
