I would call the vet anyway and tell them the symptoms and such and see if there is anything they can tell you over the phone if money is an issue let them know, sometimes they will work with you, if the first one does not call around vets do not like to hear pets are suffering at least the good ones don't! Or talk to the humane society, sometimes they will give you some ideas.

depending on his age if he is a younger dog and hasnt recieved all his vaccinations it good be parvo... which is a very serious.. which likes to grow in rapidly dividing cells, which is why puppys often get it... well parvo attacks and kills these cells causing vomiting and bloody diarrhea.. suppression and depression.... parvo is most common in the south and if your puppy has this he will need to stay hydrated.... which is very hard without medications... they would need to be put on and iv and given sub cutaneous fluids maybe you could find a vet who would work out a payment plan... or possible give you medication to stop the vomiting and diarrhea... such as cefazolin and metronidazole!!! i think thats how you spell it!!! there is a natural medication that some claim helps treat it which is Parvaid!!!
It may not even be that serious... but if he continues to vomit and not eat there is a real good chance thats what it may be!!!
Best of luck to you...
Also some vets offer a thing called care credit... similar to a credit card!!!! I hope your puppy turns out ok!!!

domestic dogs can truly bypass down immediately even as they get ill from dehydration. You did not element out if she is vomiting. you say she is "prepared" on photos on the on the spot. Does that recommend she has received all her vaccinations, which consists of her parvo? Has she been checked for parasites? Did you purchase your domestic dog from a respected breeder or a puppy keep? If we had added information, we would want to be in a position to furnish extra options on the reason of your domestic dogs ailment. Regardless, your domestic dog will favor to work out a vet quickly! maximum vets will provide help to divide your bill into small funds. also, you want to call the breeder or the keep the position you got your domestic dog and requested about the domestic dogs previous treatments and vaccinations. Diarrhea with blood isn't a good challenge.....even with the indisputable fact that it does no longer continually indicated Parvo. There might want to be many causes.....parasites and gastro-enteritis also demonstrate bloody diarrhea indicators. A vet is the in elementary words individual who can be certain the reason and the clinical care.

I do have links for some organizations that ,can assist with a pet's medical bill, but you will to fill out an application and wait for approval. As sick as our pet is, the links aren't going to be able to help you in time. Your dog can't wait for a month or longer.
Ask your vet if he willing to take payments. Many vets have a Care Assistance {Program and may be will ling to either cut you a break and take something off the bill and allow you to make payments
Good luck to your pup..

Ah, why on earth would you get a puppy you cannot afford to take care of?? I really wish more people understood the responsibility that comes with a dog. Maybe you should give your puppy to a shelter since you can't provide the support it needs. The symptoms you're describing could be ANYTHING, life threatening or minor.....:-/
I wish the puppy the best!

You should NOT have a puppy if you cannot afford a vet. How is the dog supposed to get shots? If he doesn't get his shots, he will die!!! Call a vet office anyway and explain your problem and tell them you have no money. You just might find a kind-hearted vet who will take care of your puppy for free. Poor puppy :-(

If you love him then take him to the vet!!! they will work some kind of payment out with you, if you can't afford to take the sick puppy to a vet then you are probably not responsible enough to have a pet.

Contact your local vet, or SPCA and ask if they can do anything for you, or waive the fee. If not, ask if they have payment options, where you pay a portion of the bill, and they can bill you for the rest of it.
If he just needs a check up, and possibly medicin, the bill shouldn't be over $100. If there is a major problem, or something that requires surgery, then it could be very expensive.

It sounds like it could be the beginning stages of Parvo or something. Surrender him to the Humane Society or something.
You shouldn't have gotten a dog if you can't afford vet visits and immunizations and such.
