Last night my baby started limping really bad and my husband felt his paw and he cried and didn't want to be touched. I consoled him and he cuddled up into me as he was looking him over. This happened suddenly and since then he can't even get up. He just scoots to move on my bed. Then this morning when my husband got up to go to the loo, he stepped on him! He didn't mean to but it hurt my baby even worse! I'm very upset. Could he have something in his little paw, or could it be that my husband stepped on him earlier last evening too. I think I should take him to the vet but I don't have the money to do so. I need help!

your husband prob. stepped on him the other as well. your little one might have some bruising or maybe even some broken bones. I would take him to the vet just to make sure that nothing is seriously wrong. even if you don't have money you still make small payments on the bill

Take you puppy to the vet, I am sure the vet will set up an account for you. Even if you only need to pay for an X-ray, would you not feel better knowing that your puppy's paw isn't broken. It is better to be safe then sorry. Tell you husband to turn on a light and to watch where he is going at night, if your dog does not know which one of you is getting out of bed then he can not get of your way.
It could just be a sore foot and a bad sprain, but like I said take the dog to the vet's for an X-ray to be sure. If the foot is not broken then your dog will be babying that foot for about a week. You or your husband might want to carry the puppy up and down the stairs so your puppy does not put extra weight on that paw.

Take him to the vet. If you cannot afford it, most clinics will offer some sort of a payment plan. Tell them up front that you need emergency help but cannot afford to pay it all at once. You'll find a vet who will help you. Regardless, your dog NEEDS to see a vet. He could have broken bones, internal bleeding, or any number of other things. He needs to be seen. Also, just a thought... next time you're thinking about getting a pet, consider that you do not just have to pay for food and shots. EMERGENCIES HAPPEN.

You're absolutely right, you do need help, and you should take him to the vet.
There could be many things causing this limp, none of which you can sort out yourself - foreign object in paw, sprain, fracture, arthritis. I'm afraid this is one of those times you need to tighten you pursestrings, borrow the money, use a credit card, or whatever it takes to get the money together.
When it's sorted, and I'm sure it ill be, get some pet insurance sorted! Even the cheapo ones are better than nothing, and it could be helping you out right now.

Pomeranians bones are very small. Buy accidentally stepping in him he may have bruised his foot or broken a bone. You should take him to the Vet . They can make payment arraignments with you. Just ask them.

While it does sound like you love your puppy a lot, I have to say that if you can afford emergency vet services, you shouldn't have taken on the responsibility of owning a dog.
Prehaps you can find a way - credit or maybe your vet will bill you... please get him to the vet asap. If it's broken, it needs to be set so it can heal properly...

that's maximum possibly that something has fallen onto the paw. bypass away it for an afternoon, and the following day get her to run up the stairs returned, if she's in discomfort then I recommend taking her to the vets. stable success, i wish she gets extra suitable :)

I cannot believe that a dog owner would not take a hurt dog to a vet. Are you that poor? Put it on a credit card. Or borrow the money....whatever it takes. If you cannot not afford to take care of a pet then you do not deserve to have one. You and your husband are cruel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TAKE YOUR PET TO THE VET.....NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you don't have money to take care of your pet you shouldn't have it. Would you have a baby if you couldn't financial take care of it????
