Rooster acting strangely after predator attack

3 weeks ago my 2 yo rooster was attacked by a skunk which also killed a hen. Most of his injuries were to the face but have been healing well. Since then he’s been eating like it’s going out of style and doesn’t crow anymore. I don’t know what to think. Could his voice box have been injured or maybe it’s psychological…anyone ever heard of this?
When roosters fight and one is defeated they'll quit crowing. Being attacked can leave them feeling defeated in much the same way
