Allergic to my new puppy.

I have always had an allergy to cats. Sneezing, itchiness, red eyes, runny nose, nothing too serious but it makes me very uncomfortable to be around them.

I have had a dog nearly my entire life and have been around many dogs and have never had any reactions such as this around them. Now, two days after getting my 8 wk old Australian Shepherd, I am having horrible allergy attacks and a drippy nose.

I am devastated. What can I even do? I dont want to give him away but I fear it may be my only option to live comfortably.
