My dog got poked in the eye. What over-the-counter eye drops are safe?

Question

Niko was walking around the coffee table at the same time I was reaching for something and he got poked in the eye. I am pretty sure he closes eyes on time. However his I was tearing up and now it looks dry around the lid around the edges. Is there a soothing over-the-counter canine drops for eyes? I am sorry this isn't more detailed but this is about the 7th time I've done this because your app isn't working correctly. I can't seem to upload any pictures but I can send them by email.

There are no OTC drops that can be used for dogs. You can use plain saline solution to gently rinse the eye. Place an e-collar (cone) on him to prevent rubbing or pawing. Monitor for swelling, discharge, squinting or redness. He'll need to be examined by your veterinarian to diagnose corneal injury if symptoms persist. Images must be no larger than 5MB and in.jpg or.png format. If you still have difficulties attaching them, email them to customerservice@Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.co and we can have one of our experts look at them for you.
