My 9month old puppy keeps throwing up. Iam scheduled to get his shots on sunday but he really isn't the same as before
He started having diarrhea last night and stopped eating this moring. He's lethargic and
His stomache pulses when he's gagging to vomit. Is there any way or anywhere that I can take
Him, that's inexpensive? I just spent a lot if money on food toys de-worming medecine
And cannot aforrd a 200 or $50 vet visit. Soo please someone help me!

You can try calling the vet where he is scheduled to go and ask them for advice and explain your $ situation.
See if they will accept a payment agreement.
I would try to encourage her to drink fluids.
Do you know if she got into anything ,ate anything dangerous?
Try the vets office or your local a.s.p.c.a may be able to offer you advice.

My puupy is a red nose blue nose pit. His name is tyson. I gave him water for the last 3 hours, he drinks
The water then throws it up. But I keep giving it to him no matter what. He sleeps drinks then throws up
The water.

Hi, claudiatatola!

What did you think about the suggestion that artlady made about making some sort of payment arrangement or agreement with the vet, please?

I've made payment arrangements with veterinarians previously. If you speak with the vet, then something might be able to be worked out...

No one here can really diagnose what might be wrong with your pet. We can only guess what might be wrong. Some of the guesses might be quite good and come from qualified individuals. However, they aren't in any way a substitute for seeing a veterinarian in person.

Thanks!

This could be parvo, which means you have to act yesterday! There is not waiting, there is not putting it off. If this is parvo then your puppy will die without the proper medical treatment. Even then, the chances of survival aren't good.

You need to make some sort of arrangements with your vet or another, this cannot be put off.

Even worse, the symptoms are some of the same for distemper. Your puppy needs to be at the vets as quick as possible. I've never known a vet that wouldn't work with you on finances.
