I have borderline pink eye. Been cleaning my eye and my dog got a hold of a qtip I cleaned my eye with. I’m worried he’s going to get sick

Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Joey. He will not get sick from getting ahold of this q-tip. The only concern I would have is if he ate it, but even then it will most likely pass without problem. I hope this helps.
