Thank you for submitting your question regarding Tiger. I recommend that he sees a veterinarian today. If he is crying out and trying to bite, I suspect that he is very painful. He may require pain medication or even antibiotics depending on the extent of his wounds. In the meantime, try to encourage him to eat and drink as close to normal as possible. I hope you are able to get him care today. Good luck!
