Can you put the Vetricyn Hydrogel Would Care or Neosporin in a dog's eye? I know that Vetricyn makes an eye oitment, but I have a huge bottle of the Hydrogel now. She had irritation due to something in her eye and looking to give some relief.

Neosporin is not made to go into the eyes. Says so right on the tube.
As far as the Vetricyn ... I don't really see anything on the label that would hurt the eyes, but honestly I still wouldn't put it into my pet's eye because it was designed for topical wounds (not eyes).
If you want something to flush the eye or give your dog some comfort, go get some OTC artificial tears such as Optiv Refresh, Systane, or Blink. (NO visine or cleareyes)
