he might have stepped on something.. or may have been bitten by a bug, i would give it a day and see if it goes down, if not i would take it to a vet.

You didn't say how long the swelling has been there? If it has been awhile, and it has not reduced in size at all; the best bet would be to have your Vet look at it. If left untreated it could become infected. It may be something like a foxtail weed, which can actually work itself into the blood stream with horrible consequences. Get it checked out for your own peace of mind.

Can you see anything stuck in the skin? He may have stepped on something with thorns or a bee. Just keep watching the area for continued swelling but see if you can find anything stuck in the skin between his toes. You could put a cold cloth on the area for a few minutes and see what happens

take him to the vet, he may have allergies or an injury that you may not be able to identify. Possible that he got bit by a bee?..is there blood or a laceration of some sort?
