He maybe in pain from the attack. Be careful forcing him to eat and drink you don't want him to aspirate. Do you have any meloxicam or Metacam it's for pain and inflammation?
If you don't have any maybe someone you know might

Another thing that worries me is a bright green diahrrea

 

[Miss Lydia]

Bright green diarrhea can mean he isn't eating much which he isn't, it can also mean infection. You never did say how bad his wounds are and where they are?
How do his legs look anything out of ordinary like swelling maybe a muscle injury from the dog?
I can't answer why he forgets he is eating maybe it has to do with he is just injured and not feeling so good. Does he have trouble recognizing you?

He had a wound on the chest but i stop the bleeding and when I found him he was bleeding from the mouth but that stop too i think he does recognize me he is a wild boy so he doesn’t like to be carried but he do love i talk sweet to him he is look though but he is a softie inside

 

[Miss Lydia]

Hopefully just giving him time he will recover. It is very special that you're caring for him even though he is feral.
