No, don't do it!
Instead, read this article... (excerpt below; URL way below...)
"For a red, sore eye seek veterinary attention immediately. Visine should not be used. It is not therapeutic; it merely makes the eyes less red for a short time. It can be potentially harmful in some conditions. Artificial tear drops or ointments are usually not harmful and may be soothing for some dry eye conditions, but advice of a veterinarian is urged in any case."

No. Please do not put anything in the dogs eye that is not approved by your vet. You really should seek help to figure out why they are swollen. Sometimes dog eyelashes curve under and actually rub against the eye. This may not be the case for your dog but it is an example of the type of problems that are possible. Since you probably can't get into a vet today. Keep the dog comfortable until you call for an appointment tomorrow. You might try holding a warm(not hot) washcloth over the eyes to help soothe them.

No. Please don't put something in the puppies eye that is not accredited by way of your vet. You rather should seek aid to determine why they are swollen. Usually dog eyelashes curve under and in reality rub in opposition to the attention. This might not be the case to your dog however it is an example of the type of issues that are possible. On account that you often cannot get into a vet at present. Keep the dog at ease until you name for an appointment the next day to come. You would try keeping a heat(not scorching) washcloth over the eyes to aid soothe them.

No. Your vet can give you a pet-safe eye flush. First you should have him checked to see what the cause of the swollen eyes is.

No, do not use visine. It is not conclusively safe for dogs. His cornea could be scratched, or he could have an infection. He'll need to see a vet ASAP to get eye drops (possibly antibiotics).

Don't ever put anything in your dog's eye or treat your dog for anything yourself, unless a veterinarian tells you that it's ok. You could do more damage than good.

Take your to the vet before you give your dog anything humans use. Even food, always clear things with your vet! Because human things could put your dog in danger and make him/her sick.
