GI Upset
I don't have any good ophthalmic antibiotics (just some terramycin) on hand so we'll visit the vet if it gets worse. I can, however, pick up some GenTeal gel. That's probably a good idea regardless. I'm just glad I had a bottle of saline in the house that I could grab immediately and rinse his eye with, thanks to GL. I'll be picking up another for sure. It's so worth the $1 to always have a fresh, sterile bottle. I'll use this bottle for the entirely of this injury and then have fresh for later.
It's a human thing of course, but I'm still freaked out that hey had hay IN his eye. Eeeeps right? If he would stop sleeping in the hay pile this wouldn't happen. I see that as a human sleeping in the pantry with a hand in a bag of potato chips. Lazy pigs.

Camende, I would strongly recommend it. This is the 2nd time I've used it but the first in an emergency situation. It's so cheap and comes wrapped up and sterile. When I have time to plan head I warm the bottle in a bowl of hot water like you would a baby bottle so it isn't so cold in the eye.
No, that stuff doesn't have the right concentration of salts. I'm also not sure it's sterile. What you want is made for contact lenses but it's the PLAIN, old fashioned stuff. Nothing about "no rub" or gets the protein out or anything like that. This is the stuff you use with heat disinfection or to wash off modern storage solution if you have sensitive eyes. If it costs more than $1 and small change chances are you have the wrong stuff. It's a large-ish bottle, probalby 300mL or so.
