Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed
My Kitten,Luna, was nipped at in the neck by our dog from food aggression. He held her in his mouth for a few seconds then finally she ran away and hid. Now she wont stop sleeping, her eyes are squinted when we wake her up, and she tilts her head.

Poor Luna! The incident may have caused some internal damage to her throat area or inner ear and may cause her to be painful. I recommend having Luna seen by a vet as soon as possible, who will be able to take some x-rays to see if there is any damage and the extent of it. Your vet will also be able to prescribe pain relief medication appropriate for cats if necessary. I hope this helps and that all is well with Luna!
