Poor Lebron! It could be that he encounter something outside that lead to an allergic reaction, causing his eyes to be swollen shut, the itching, and the crusty scab in his ear from the itching. I would have him seen by a vet today, as he sounds uncomfortable and any problems with the eyes should be considered an emergency. That's because leaving it untreated can lead to vision loss. The vet can diagnose what is causing his symptoms and how best to treat them.
