Why is my dog holding her head down and not walking after an attack?

Question

My dog is walking with her head down and tries to escape when I try to lift it. She doesn’t pay attention and doesn’t want to walk. She’s laying down. A dog attached her 3 days ago so could this be from stress? Is it a pinched nerve? There weren’t any blood. Pet's info: Dog | Yorkshire Terrier | Female | 4 years and 1 month old | 6.6 lbs

Yes, severe neck pain probably due to pinched nerve is the most likely explanation for this posture and behaviour. An immediate check up is required to confirm this clinical suspicion and treat appropriately.
