It sounds like Monster is having pretty significant neck pain. It could be a pulled muscle, but more serious possibilities include a bulging disc or even meningitis. I would recommend that you have Monster evaluated by a vet to determine what could be going on. After a physical and neurologic exam, the vet may recommend x-rays or blood work to determine what is going on.
