If you haven't tried hydrogen peroxide to get him to vomit this site has instructions on that
www.petplace.com/dogs/how-to-induce-vomiting-emesis-in-dogs/page1.aspx
You can read about this medication in animals here
http://www.petplace.com/drug-library/diclofenac-volteran-ophthalmic/page1.aspx
If you can't get it out of him then you should see an emergency vet as this medication can cause liver or kidney issues and its a big overdose for him.
Hope this helps you!
