Take her to the vet now!
If she's not keeping down water she could become (or perhaps already is) dehydrated, that on top of her having blood in her poop, in my opinion means it's serious. A lot of vets will work out a payment plan for you if you can't afford to pay the full amount straight away. But this is not something that should be ignored or waited on. At the very least call the vet and explain exactly what is wrong and tell them you can't afford to pay for her care in one lump sum. I'm sure they'll work something out. If not, perhaps you could try a shelter...they may be able to help. Whatever you do, decide fast and do it now. Cass. |

If she pooped worms, then she has worms, thats whats wrong with her! The baby needs to go to the vet asap, she is lethargic because the evil wormies are stealing nutrients from her.
Worms Happen. Take the dog to the vet, dewormer is cheap. Ask about a payment plan, the dog need medical attention! |

This is not something that should wait "until you can afford it"
I would suggest highly that you look hard in your area for low cost vet clinics, payment plan options, shelter vet care or consider temporarily relinquinshing ownership to a shelter/rescue that can adequately treat her. Its in the DOGS best interest and that should be the #1 priority. Where are you located? perhaps we can help with the low cost options. Do you have family or friends that could help in some way? please, dont let the puppy suffer over money ![]() |

On behalf of a person posting under my name
_____________ Give me the puppy and I will take them to the vet! Poor dog should not suffer because you cant afford it. Not to be mean, but if the dog poops worms, then um..that just might be the problem. Give me the dog and I will take care of her/him! Find a shelter or someone that can help! ______________ For contact info, PM me. |

Please, please take the dog to a vet. Dehydration in puppies is a serious risk, especially in summer.
If you don't get her medical attention, she could die. Wouldn't it be better to go with the even the next best scenario and surrender her to a shelter for treatment? But chances are you can find a vet to work out a payment plan with. Please help your puppy! She depends on you to do these things for her. |

I understand that sometimes things come up in life that we just simply cannot afford but when it comes to the health and wellbeing of your pet its something that cannot wait.
If you can't afford to take this little girl to the vet then please give her to someone who can. I realize no one wants to give up a beloved pet but when that love stops you from dong what is best for your dog then is that really and truely love? |

you need to take the puppy to the vet. if you don't, she could conceivably die. vet appointments for sick pets are not optional. if you can't afford it, you need to find her a home that can afford it.
you might also want to check into finding a vet that accepts carecredit and apply for it. |

Usually Vets. will work out a payment plan. If you cannot even make payments then call the Pit rescue. They take care of all the medical needs, screen all applicants, do home checks and find just the right home. Your puppy could even have parvo, and most puppies die from this horrible disease.

DEFINATELY COCCIDIA!!!!
The primary sign of an animal suffering with coccidiosis is diarrhea. The diarrhea may be mild to severe depending on the level of infection. Blood and mucous may be present, especially in advanced cases. Severely affected animals may also vomit, lose their appetite, become dehydrated, and in some instances, die from the disease. Pets with parasites in their stool often get infected with Coccidia. Get some Albon and give it to her if you cant afford a vet bill, it isnt expensive and I am pretty much SURE it is Coccidia. Go to http://www.purinaone.com/dogcare_con...leNumber=30037 for more info on Coccidia. I am only 13 and even I can tell you it is Coccidia, the vet thought one of my shipped in Chihuahuas had Coccidia but the vet said it was only too much stress from the ride! |
