    If you do not have the money to afford vet care, than you cannot afford to own a dog. Bottom line.

    Is the dog vomiting? Or having diarrhea? If so, your only option IS the vet.

    In the mean time, you can give pepto to your dog to ease the nausea, vomiting or diarrhea.

    Dosage:
    Large dog 80-100 lbs 1-2 tablespoons
    Med dog 40- 70 lbs 2 teaspoons
    Small dog 20-40 lbs 1 teaspoon
    Smaller than 20 Lbs 1/4-1/2 teaspoon

    Try cooking browned hamburger and rice. Be sure to blot off the fat before feeding her.

    Monday, take your pet in to the vet. Its not expensive for a vet to look at your dog and talk to you about other options. Most vets will work with limited incomes. At least try and give your pet medical attention.

    What did your other puppy pull through?
    How old is the pup?
    Any vomiting/diarrhea?
    Has he had any vaccines?
    Part of loving a dog is ensuring that he get medical care when he needs it.
    I know times can be tough, but there have to be sacrifices made at times to make that happen.
