Puppies will dehydrate quickly if they're not eating or drinking. Some vets will take deferred payments. Your puppy needs to see a vet ASAP, I would borrow the money if need be.

I agree you need to see a vet! but in the mean time try to get liquids into him..have you tried some chicken broth or even some plain rice...plain ground beef? what does he normally eat?

You must see a vet. If you cannot afford one and you cannot get a vet that will put you on a payment plan, then I would bring the dog to a shelter/ASPCA and sign him over to them. I think it is the kindest thing you can do for this dog - which is have him seen by someone. There is something wrong with your pup.

Where did you get your dog?

Apply for Care Credit (though you'll need to find a vet that accepts it, I think you can search on the site):

As everyone has said your pup needs a vet ASAP, please find away to get him medical attention, even it means surrendering him.
