Bruised Nose???

Last night I thought it sounded like our buck was breathing funny. He acted and was eating fine though.

This morning I took out treats. He was bottle fed and will come right up to the fence to see me.

I’m sure his one nostril is plugged. There is no mucus/snot or any type of discharge from the nostril. His nose seems a little swollen on that side though, and I can’t feel any air coming out of that nostril when he breathes out.

Is it just bruised, you think?
 
i am no expert but could he have been stung by something, like a wasp or a bee? that happened to one of my donkeys last year
 
I didn't think of that. There's clover in the pen and lots of flowers; so I'm sure there are bees around where's he's eating.
