Hi, I need urgent advice regarding the dog. A few days ago he had a fight with a pack of dogs and they bitten him on the neck, now has swelling and an early ruptured leaking rosy liquid and smell bad. I cleaned him, but I do not know what to do next? Thanks in advance..

It sounds like your dog has developed an abscess from being bitten, and he needs to see a vet immediately. The abscess will need to be drained and flushed sterilely, and he will need antibiotics to treat the infection. Please take him into a vet now.
