What are some over the counter treatments for my Boston Terriers allergies?

The first treatment would be to throw away the food you have been feeding him and the treats and start fresh with a 4-5 star dog kibble and 5 star canned food if you use both. Make sure it says (grain free) on the bag and the treats need to be grain free too as your Boston has allergies, most do. Once you do this it is a good idea to bathe them once a week to remove anything on the skin with some Tar and Sulfur shampoo which you can buy at Petco or the vet. Until the hotspot goes away apply hydrocortizone and tea tree oil mixed half and half with almond oil or olive oil. To stop the licking use the tea tree oil mixture because they hate the smell of it. Once they clear up don't ever give them cheap food again or anything containing wheat. Even Milkbone dog biscuits have wheat in them so it is hard. dogfoodreviews.com

Is an Italian Greyhound a good companion for another small dog for example a Boston Terrier?

Any breed of dog can be a good companion to another dog. However Greyhounds are used for running and they love it, so if your dog is into running I suggest you get another Greyhound. If your Greyhound is just a pet then even a small dog or cat would be a good companion. I always own two dogs to keep each other company. I have a white Bichon Frise female and a male Cockapoo 16 months old. They play all the time or just sleep together and I also have a 10 year old cat that thinks she's a dog and has fun with the dogs. They even sleep together!
