What can I do for my puppy with allergies?
Beeba asked:
For the last few days my six month old small dog (shitzu x chihuahua with dominant characteristics of a tibetan terrier) has had runny eyes and occasional sneezing. I’m not a dog expert, but I think he may have allergies. He is going to the vet on Tuesday to get checked out. What can I do to keep him comfortable in the meantime?
Hmm…not take him outside? Sounds a bit cruel. On top of that, where’s he supposed to “go”? On my carpet? I don’t think so.

He does have a vet appointment, so I don’t want to medicate him. I don’t know anything about veterinary science and I certainly don’t want to hurt my special boy! I’ll just let the vet tell me what meds to give him if he indeed needs meds. I’m looking for some things I can do for him that don’t involve meds to keep him comfortable in the meantime.
