figure out how bad his allergies are
and ask him to try some pills
dont bring the dog over if it'll make him sick
but think about getting your own place if you like dogs that much

You share the living space. You made this deal a long time ago when you chose to move in together. You need to stick by it, if you cannot agree then you have to agree to not agree.
Something that actually affects your roomates health should be a little more important to you, even if it is just allergies. If you cannot take the dog I am sure your brother will find someone who can.
Why try to force your roomate to make this kind of compromise? It is really unfair of you to ask this of him.

If I wanted to own my own pet and had a roommate that was against it I'd simply move somewhere else where I could have a pet.
But if I had a roommate who was allergic to animals and somebody asked me to host their pet for a while, I would be considerate of my rommate and simply say I can't let the pet stay with me. If nobody else could host the pet and the owner was someone close to me I'd offer to stay at their house or stop by there daily while they're gone to take care of the pet, but I would NOT insist on having the pet in my home where it would cause my roommate problems. That would be incredibly inconsiderate.

If your roommate has a severe allergic reaction to pet hair then it might be wise to leave things as they are but if it is only a sneezing fit or two that he has and after all it is only a week .. offer to buy him him allergy pills in return for you being able to help your brother out ..
Clartin works wonders for all types of allergies and is an over the counter med now a days ...
Surely he can see if the pets stay is important or not

The cat may have tapeworms by using fleas. Many cats and dogs get tapeworms in the adventure that they have got fleas and are not treated to eliminate them. Tapeworm infestation can ensue even as the cat ingests a flea it is contaminated with the tapeworm, ingestion can ensue basically by customary grooming. If the worms that you're seeing are basically about sesame seed structure and color (each so often a touch darker even as they're dried up) then the cat surely has a tapeworm and customary worming drugs received't help because maximum surely kill roundworms. There are tapeworm drugs that you'll get for a really lower priced value at petsmart or different puppy shops. you may want to even try asking a vet for tapeworm medicine, maximum might want to promote it to you with out having to make certain the animal, you basically want to understand the cat's weight, I did it for my moms and dads dogs and cats. also if the cat nevertheless has fleas then it specially in all probability it receives tapeworm back and that is going an analogous for the different cat, both might want to be sparkling of fleas and tapeworms for the infestation to bypass away, also an analogous for the homestead and backyard. holding benefit on them oftentimes with help massive time to shop any of this from taking position back, you need to purchase unmarried doses truly of an total %. in case you may't spend that a lot immediately. also that homestead is in part yours, you're allowed to inform her she desires to do something at the same time with her cats. Peace.

Nah, you gotta give in, unfortunately. Even if you think it's all BS. You just gotta wait until you have your own place before you can go on taking in dogs and stuff. It sucks, but it's better for the dog too. They know, ya know?

give in. sorry, but as much as i want you to dog sit, i know you wouldn't want to be on his side of the fence. at bare minimum, he would have to take a couple weeks' worth of medicines--because the leftover hair and dander would continue to make him sick--and at worst, your roommate could go into shock and die. please be caring, it's really the right thing to do.

Considering it's a health issue that can't be helped, you need to give in.
