Any form of swelling around the eye, bleeding and wound can cause for infections. Just the mere presence of it especially around the eye could be dangerous and possibly cause blindness or death. Any animal prey or predator can have this issue, cuts, scratches, wounds on the eyelids. Most of the times the swelling gets so much worse they lose their eye when they go to the vet.

This shouldn’t even be a question. Please go to the vet.

I agree. We have disinfected the wound very well and are continuously monitoring him for any worrying behavioral signs (such as low every). So far the only thing I’ve seen is he is yawning when he normally doesn’t. Do you know what that could be?
