Dogs were playing and lower jaw got stuck under the collar and never broke away. Unlatched it to free both dogs and 6 month old had problems catching his breath. Now he is breathing fine but moving a little slow

Sounds like Apollo is in pain. Rest him tonight. No running, jumping, or playing. Take him out to toilet on a leash, and bring him right back in when he's done. If he still appears painful in the morning, then I would take him into the vet for an exam. The vet can diagnose where the pain is coming from, and can dictate a treatment plan for it. He may also benefit from some pain medications, which the vet can prescribe. Please do not give him any human pain medications, as many are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given.
