Your dog does need help quick...so use a credit card at the vet many accept them. If you don't have credit ask for a payment plan probably will have to put a deposit of some amount down though. You can try feeding you dog some canned pumpkin to get her bowels moving til you get her to the vet but don't allow this to go on more than a day longer. Good luck! You may also give your dog up to a rescue organization who will find someone to adopt her and pay her expenses *i know this would stink for you but your dog would then be taken care of for this issue.
Good luck...best wishes to your dog.

take the dog to the vet or animal hospital now! constipation is usually a sign of something more serious. dogs can get what is called an Intussusception. That is where the bowels turn in on itself like the pieces of a telescope. It's usually caused by a blockage. unless it's taken care of, the mortality rate is 100%.
whatever the cause is, don't let your dog suffer cause you can't afford medical care. You're dog doesn't understand "i'm sorry, I just don't have the money".
Call a vet and explain your monetary circumstances, they may be willing to take payments. but don't just do nothing and don't try to treat the dog yourself without the advice of a vet, you could seriously hurt your dog and make things worse.

people who don't have money for vet bills should NOT have pets. Would you have a child if you couldn't afford food, diapers and hospital bills? Of course not (at least I hope not). Im sure you love your dog, but if you were honest with yourself, you would have allowed it to have a home that can care for it properly. Sorry to sound cold, but I rescue animals and I spend over a $1500 a month on other people's pet's vet bills. (which of course don't get returned to them) Being a responsible owner means admitting you cant properly provide for them, and not buy one.

Chances are your dogs not constipated, but has an obstruction... she needs checked by a vet. If you cant afford that, then you should give her away, or turn her into a human shelter where she can get help.... please dont let her suffer because you are broke.

try giving them a little bit of either mineral oil or a laxitive but only in little amounts and make sure they are out side.If it doesnt get better in 24 hr. the vet would be the best thing as they might have something blocking their digestive tract.

My bf's dog was constipated one time. The vet said to give her a childs enema! You can get them at Rite Aid or a place like that. They are fairly inexpensive.

give her a fish oil pill once a day until she goes. then stop giving her them pill. you can get them at any store that sells vitamin. also look in the animal section of any store. actually it looks like there is gel in it. my collie mix uses them and it works good on him.

I do think you need to take her to a vet. You might try giving her (orally) mineral oil.

i know with cats you can use milk and it might make a dog go but it will also give a chance of them having the sh*ts
