sick dog please help

[christie1313]

We have a 5 month old pup. She is up to date on her shots. About 2 weeks ago she had a seizure. She seemed fine after that. Then yesterday she had another. She has not been the same since. She is vomiting foamy stuff, watery diarrhea, lethargic, will not eat or drink. She has this dazed look like she does not know who or where she is. She has no agression. Before this all started she never slowed down for anything. She was like fart in a whirlwind. We have absolutely no money to take her to the vet, and all of the ones here where we live have to be paid at the time of service, so we are kind of stuck. Any suggestions? We have another dog that we are concerned about and a cat, but we are keeping them apart. Any answer will be greatly appreciated

No matter what your financial situation is, there are always options. Contact your local humane society and ask them to recommend low cost vets in your area and pay over time services. The humane society number will be in the Blue Pages of your local phone book. Ask your vet again, explain your situation and ask to set up a payment plan based on when you get paid. Your dog needs to see a vet immediately - at this age, your pup could die very quickly without immediate professional attention - which we here CANNOT give you. Also, ask your vet about Credit Care - it's a credit system that's a bit more formal for veterinary bills, and you may well be approved for this. Again, your dog needs to see a vet immediately, and if you have to, ask a family member or close friend to loan you the money, your dog's life is worth it.

I completely agree with Jawert, this seems serious and your dog does need a vet asap. I know that financial hardtimes make things difficult to bring your beloved pet in, but its all part of pet ownership. Definately call around, explain your situation perhaps someone will be able to help.
Most of us here would beg/borrow/hock ( not putting steal cause im not sure if we would do that) but the main point is, we would do ANYTHING nessicary to get our pets in for medical attention especially when the symptoms are that serious.
Please try to get your dog in.

I agree a vet visit is in order, if you are using a flea collar on her get rid of it they can often be the cause of seizures, the vet can offer advantage instead for flea control if needed

I agree with the others....."somehow" you need to get her to the vet. Good luck and keep us posted.
