Dog sounds hoarse??

I have an 8 month old pup he was barking in the lot so I put a shock collar on him. I only shocked him 1 time and after that he sounds hoarse when he barks. Has anyone had this happen? And if so should his bark get back to the way it was?

Check the collar isn't too tight

I check his collar it isn't tight an I don't have the shock collar on him now. He can bark but he just sounds hoarse an seems to strain when he barks.

That 1 shock did no damage. It is apparent you put the collar on for a reason. I boarded mine for a week, they could not bark when got them back. Rest and I used human throat spray twice a day. Took 2 weeks but they got better, but 1 of them if you let him tree an hr he will still get hoarse.
