Hi Prithvi,

I can understand your concern. As the incident happened 20 days back and the puppy is fine your headache and pain in the lower neck is not related to the scratch. It is suggested that you see your doctor to rule out other causes of headache.

I hope you have got your puppy immunized by the vet.

Wishing you an early recovery.
