1 My dog was bitten on the neck and it has gotten really swollen. He scratched it open one night, and now he has a golf ball sized lump on his neck and when he runs around the house a little bit it swells up to the size of a tennis ball. We have him locked up in a very large pen for fear that he might have gotten rabies from the animal that bit him.
