Was laying out with lil spicy earlier (will post pics later) and mastiff was outside with us rolling around in the grass... I noticed he went to the otherside of the pool in the azaela bushes digging around... About an hr later I noticed his eye looked like it was swollen shut. Nothing else on his face or head was swollen. I also noticed a little scrape on his snout...
Could this be some kind of bite? Maybe a snake? I went to the back near the bushes but didnt see anything. Im gonna bring him to the vet tomorrow

Snake bites usually bleed a good bit so it probably isn't that.
Coulda just got his eye jewged by a stick or something.

Had a lab once that liked to go fishing for turtles. He would dig holes in the shallow end of a pond about three feet from the bank and periodically check them for turtles. He caught a bunch but that's not all he'd get.
He got at least two snake bites, one on his lip and one on his ear that sound similar to your dogs injuries.
I never saw any blood from it, just a golfball sized lump that went down after a week or so. My moneys on a snake bite.

Keep an eye on him and watch for difficulty breathing, etc. He'll probably be all right but be ready to make a run for the emergency vet just in case.

Give it a benadryl and see if it starts going down by tomorrow.
My wife is a vet. That was her advice.
