    Simone,

    You need to get your dog to the vet ASAP. Call your vet, some can arrange transportation or make a house call.

    Good luck.

    Make sure you keep giving him water for now. You don't want him to get dehydrated.

    He may have eaten something that was possibly contaminated. He may also have a fever. It's the "no energy" that is the concern and the duration. Usually it's "over and done with."

    Bring a stool sample with you to the vet.

    If you care about him living and not dying a painful death, you get him to a vet. You beg people you know to drive you. Put a bit of the tastiest meat he likes in front of him to see if he can eat it and keep it down. And of course water. Feel him all over gently but firmly, especially his belly. Examine the color of his gums.

    You could use a taxi to get to the vet.

    There are ways of getting around, you're choosing to not look into it.

    Dark stool is typically digested or old blood.. so your dog is bleeding inside. This can be FATAL.

    Once again, call a taxi, call a friend.. call someone. After all those options are out of the question, than you can say you have no transportation.

    But I'm sure you have no money either... Pets cost money.. even free pets cost money. You should have known that prior to getting this dog. Shame on you..
