My cat has a neck wound. Why is he in pain and refusing to eat?

Question

My cat has a wound on his neck,first I tought I saw tick there and sprayed it for ticks,but now there's nothing,I don't know if it's fallen or the wound is from something else,it looks small,but he shows really hard pain when it's touched,and usually he tolerates much bigger wounds,also since that wound appeared he has throat aches,painful swallowing and lost his appetite,is it possible these symptoms to be related with the wound or it's different problem,my vet's not in the town and no vet near. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 5 years and 7 months old

Poor Tikvichko! Yes, it is possible that his symptoms are related to the wound as it could be infected. Infected wounds would cause him pain and a loss of appetite. I would find the nearest vet for him to take him to so that he can be treated. I hope this helps!
