    How old is the dog? How long has the dog been like this? Is the dog up to date on shots?

    Not eating or drinking is serious. Any time a dog stops eating and drinking there's an issue that needs to be seen by a vet. There's absolutely no way to tell you, online, what's going on with your dog. Please take him to a vet immediately.

    Ruthy this long of vomiting is serious. You need to find the money somehow. OR you need to see if the vet will work with you. If that does not work then you need to give her to a rescue so they can help her.
    Please don't let her suffer find the money borrow sell stuff let bills go a month and not pay anything.

    So she's not vaccinated at all? Why not?

    This is likely parvo, but we can't diagnose online. It could also be a blockage, or something else. But parvo makes the most sense with her symptoms, and her age, and not being vaccinated.

    If it is parvo and you don't take her to a vet, she'll die. Parvo is extremely deadly. The vet can treat her, and only a vet can, but even with vet care it's not 100% that she'll make it, and the vet costs will be expensive.

    I have to ask, if you can't afford a vet, can't even afford vaccinations, why do you have a dog?

    Borrow the money. Sell your computer, your cell phone if you have one, everything you can to get the money. Call your vet and ask if they'll consider doing a payment plan. You're the one that chose to get a dog, it's your responsibility to make sure she gets the care she needs.

    Yes, that's harsh, but that's reality. This is what it takes to have a dog. You can't just love them and feed them, they need vaccines, they need medical care when they're sick.

    Well when I got her my boyfriend said he was going to do it so I said OK and then I found out he didn't and its not parvo she is not pooping blood or eat and she vomits but I calmed that down with peptobismal and she drank some water and I got her because I don't have kids and I don't think I can have any so I got her so I won't be alone

    Tomorrow is too late. If this is parvo you have minutes, not hours, not days. If this is parvo, the sooner she's treated the better her chances of surviving. If this is parvo she likely won't be alive tomorrow without treatment. Do you understand how serious this is? I'm not trying to scare you, I'm telling you the facts.

    Even if this isn't parvo, something is very obviously wrong. She can't afford to wait. If you want her to live you can't afford to wait either.

    Call your vet, ask about a payment plan, tell them them what's going on. If they won't help, call other vets, call the humane society, see if they'll help. Call everyone you know for help. There's no excuse. You have to get her into the vet. Not tomorrow, right away!

    I don't care why you got her! You're not taking care of her. That's what I care about.

    Be happy this isn't a child, if it was it would be taken away from you for neglect!

    The only thing I care about is your dog. She's been vomiting for days with no medical treatment. She's not eating, she's not drinking. She's never even been vaccinated. This is neglect!

    This is your dog, it's your choice. I know that vets are expensive, but we gave you options. Stop relying on your boyfriend and take care of your dog! Call vets , call the humane society, do everything you can to get her into the vet right away. You won't get answer on a computer, you'll only get them at a vet clinic.

    A pup that is not drinking can dehydrate quickly. Also every time she throws up she loses nutrients she needs. They are like newborns. Please get your pup to a vet ASAP. We are all pet owners and have had to do without or not pay bills to get our dogs the medical care they need. I was actually facing rehoming my dog due to him maybe needing expensive surgery. I was prepared to do it as I did not want him suffering. Luckly for him and me the bed rest the vet ordered worked and he did not need it. A true pet owner who loves their pets will get them the vet care no matter what

    I'm posting this only because I'm pretty sure that you won't go to the vet.

    Get pedialyte. Give your dog pedialyte according to the instructions on the bottle. She's throwing up, and not drinking, so she's getting dehydrated. She needs to keep hydrated. Pedialyte is sold in pharmacy's. If you can't find it, gatorade will work too.

    You called every vet in your area and they all said no? The humane society said no? I don't believe that.

    What about friends, family? What are you using to post on this site with, a computer, an iPhone? You have nothing to sell?

    It's good that you sleep with her. If she dies during the night she won't be alone. Yes, that's harsh, but if that's what it takes to wake you up, that's what I'll do. My only concern here is for your dog.

    They said to wait until tomorrow?

    Well, let's hope she makes it to tomorrow.

    Get the pedialyte. Give it to her. It may be the difference between making it to the appointment tomorrow, or waking up to a dead dog.

    I have nothing further to add. I hope she makes it, for her sake, not yours.

    Good bye.
