Dogs just cant handle pork in any shape or form. You can promote water, let her rest or take her to the vet.

Have no money for a vet and am in debt, Angel drank some water and is sleeping now, no spasms, is there anything else I should be looking for?

You can try feeding her some bread or cotton wool balls soaked in water while you are waiting for the car to warm up to get her to the vet.

Cooked bones can splinter and cause internal damage or if they do not splinter they can block her bowel...
Either way you need to get her to the vet immediately for an x-ray.

Call your vet and work out a payment plan if you do not have the money right now.

A lot of vets will accept instalments these days.

Keep a very, very close eye on her, if she does not poop soon or seems to struggle or be in pain while trying then you need to get her to the vet.

You're gonna have to do better than that. She needs to go to a vet. You owe it to her as her caretaker to take her, especially when something like this happened.

She needs to get to the vet to be checked out. They say if you can't afford to take care of your dog in any way even in an emergency or any cost what so ever then you shouldn't be taking care of them.

Awww.. poor Chihuahua. Take her to the vet and give her some TLC and try to make her feel better!

I really liked that, had to spread the love.

Have your sister pay and don't allow her to ever feed your dog again!

Most vets do take payment plans, you should be able to find one if your regular vet doesn't.
