Swallowed eye drops

Hi,
I've been giving my little dog antiobiotic eye drops for a minor eye infection - not fun! She's as squirmy as a cat

This morning I was about to accomplish the deed when she suddenly jerked her head back and two drops went straight into her mouth. I read the leaflet that came with the drops - they appear to be intended for children, and it says that if the drops are swallowed you should take the person to A&E.

I've been keeping an eye on her and she seems ok. Obviously, this isn't something I intend to let happen again, but do you think a couple of drops would do her any harm if accidentally ingested?

Thanks, I've just phoned the vet. They said a couple of drops wouldn't harm her.
