My four month old puppy isn't really acting that sick but she has direaha, its mucousy and she throws up. She still loves to eat but is losing weight. I can't afford to take her to the vet so I haven't but I'm wondering if it could be some type of worm or something else?? At time she is lazy but still gets up and plays with us please help!!

I'm sorry, but if you are going to have a pet, you must be responsible and have money set aside to afford vet care now and then for shots, neutering, dental care, illness. This may be any number of things, and the pup needs to be checked by a vet. Call around to ask about low-cost visits or a payment plan. Check with animal shelters to find out which vets they go to because those will be low-fee ones.

If your dog shows any behavior changes suddenly then one of the first things to do is to take him to the vet. Plus as one of our pet experts says. 'if you can't afford the vet you should not have a pet'. Like children pups also have to have their vaccination shots. Has she had all the ones she need at that age?
