Puppy bleeding from throat, not eating. Is this an emergency?

Question

Hello, my 3 month old puppy got a hold of my sons Harry Potter wand and stabbed himself in the back of the throat this morning. It has been bleeding on and off and he didn’t eat his lunch or dinner. He just been laying down all day. Is this normal behavior after something like this or should I be taking him in?

I would be worried if Buddha's throat is still bleeding - I wouldn't expect continued bleeding. It's possible that there has been more serious trauma to the his mouth or the back of his throat. Buddha may need to be sedated to get a good look and determine where the bleeding is coming from.
