If Rex is squinting his eye and you're seeing swelling, Rex should be seen by a vet right away. Swelling of the eyelids & tissue *around* the eye may resolve after trauma, but if the globe (eyeball) is injured he may need treatment to protect that eye. And if the eye is fine, he'd probably appreciate if the vet prescribed a good anti-inflammatory pain medication for his comfort!
