First of all, ZEDHEAD your opener was completely unnecessary- she KNOWS where she bought the puppy. She is asking for HELP, not for a lecture or a kick in the head.
Second of all, OP, it is a good idea to have a new pup seen by a vet ASAP, to establish him as a patient and to have him thoroughly checked out.
Third of all, OP, my neice and her daughter are highly allergic to cats and dogs and neither of them has had any reaction whatever to Smokey and they are considering a Yorkie as their first family pet.
Lastly, I am just getting over a wicked flu and the beginning symptoms were a feeling like my chest was full of concrete and I was gasping for breath.
My advice is to deal with this problem one thing at a time and seek competent medical advice.
We are all supposed to be ladies and gentlemen here, so let's play NICE.
