My husband and 3 year old have pretty sever allergies, but my son LOVES dogs. We want to get him one, but want one that will cause him the least amount of discomfort. We DO NOT want a Chihuahua. Any suggestions?

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.
