Ouch! Poor Isaac! I'm glad he seems fine (by this I assume you mean he is still playful, eating/drinking, and having his normal personality). If he had a brain injury, or concussion, he would likely be acting really ill and lethargic. Still, the swollen face is a concern. He may need some help, likely is painful. Would you be able to have him checked out by his vet today, to see what may need to be done to help his swollen face?
