Swollen Eye

Help i just came home and found that Ronin has a swollen eye. It's just the top part of his eye lid, is there any kind of disease that would cause this or is it maybe from him running or bumping into something. Oh and if i press it he doesn't pull away in pain or anything. He also puked twice and was eating a ton of grass when i brought him out to pee. i'm going to attach a picture. Its the brown part on top of the eye, That is his natural color around the eye. And he's still acting normal, he just looks like a guy that got punched in the eye. So is there any disease or something he could have eaten that would make him look like that?

Could it be a bug bite? I think if it was a disease of some kind, you would have seen the lump growing, not just show up all of a sudden.

I was thinking a bite too. Maybe try giving a Benedryl tonight...if it looks the same or worse in the morning, have the vet take a look.

The swelling has already gone down, it doesn't exactly look normal yet but his eye isn't half shut anymore. So i guess it was a bug bite or something.
