eye irritation

if you have any saline solution I would rinse the eye with that.

Do not use neosporin in the eye. (Please refer to the package insert for cautions).

A cool towel will also reduce the inflammation.

Make sure there isn't anything IN the eye, if your dog will allow you to do this.

Be careful, a dog that is in pain, can act irratically, and could nip.

She's not in pain, i know she just being annoyed by it itching. i have been opening her eye lids to look to see if anything was inside and i could not see anything. Human saline solution for contacts? Will this hurt?
I have some "STERILE 0.9% SODIUM CHLORIDE" for irrigation in a medical kit in my home. would this work?
