You will have to take him to the vet or let him lay there and die. Maybe the vet will take a payment plan from you. NO ONE here is going to be able to help your puppy. He is very sick and is not going to make it if you don't seek help from a vet.
Beg, borrow or steal to help him and if you can't.. Please refrain from owning a pet in the future.

If this puppy is only 6 weeks old, he is way too young to have been taken away from it's mother and siblings, in the first place. I can tell by your description, that your puppy is in very bad shape, and whether you can afford a vet or not is not an option, he will die if you don't do something fast. I can guarantee you this puppy is in pain and it's not fair to him, for you to just sit there and watch him suffer like this, an not make any attempt to help him! Too much time has already been wasted. There are no home cures!!! You need to find some way to get the money for the vet, borrow it from family or friends or work out a payment plan, with your vet. If you love this puppy at all, and don't want him to die, you need prove it to him and take responsibility as a dog owner, and get him to the vet IMMEDIATELY, if it's not already too late. This sounds like a life-threatening situation, and if you don't take him to the vet NOW, he will die. This is nothing to full around with or put off. Time is of the essence, if you want your puppy to survive! If you still won't take him to a vet, then surrender the puppy to the vet, so they can treat it, then adopt it out to a new home, who will be able to get him the proper medical care he needs, when he needs it. Dog's are a responsibility, and you need to be able to give them the proper care they deserve. It goes with being a responsible dog owner. He's depending on YOU!!! Don't let him down! When I hear things like this, it really tears me up and breaks my heart. This puppy deserves a chance at a happy and healthy life, and if you are unable to give that to him, give him to someone that can, give him the life he deserves. DO IT NOW!!! I have 5 Chihuahuas and if they ever get sick or injured, money is not an object. They are at the vet, the second I notice something is wrong. If I can handle 5 dogs, then you can handle 1 dog! DO THE RIGHT THING PLEASE!!!

People don't realize that pets have expenses. Just because the pup is healthy when you get it, does not mean that something will not happen to him in the future. If you can not afford a dog, you should not own one. Surrender your puppy to a rescue group that can afford the medical costs and help him. There should be local groups that you can call around to find or look up online. Without medical care, your puppy seems like it could die. A vet NEEDS to look at him, and that's a fact. Nothing will change if you don't do something about it now. Man up and bring the puppy somewhere where it will HAVE A CHANCE at LIVING.

If that puppy doesn't get to a vet very soon, he's going to die. He sounds like he is in very bad shape. Get your phone book and find a vet that will take payments. If you can't afford a simple vet visit, I don't think you can afford to own a pet. You either need to find a vet that will take payments or give this dog to someone who can afford to take him. It's not fair to the puppy to let him lay there and die on your floor.

Parvo is scary. But you got him to the vet and have him on an i.v treatment. The odds are more in your favor now. The biggest killer when it comes to this virus is dehydration. And you've also got better odds being your dog is a mix breed. Least that's what my vet said with the pup I got and ended up with it days later. Its not going to be cheap. My vet bill was about four hundred dollars with a three day hospital stay. But its worth it if you love your dog. I know some people wouldn't put the effort out because its "just a dog,". But me, nope. Every one and every thing deserves a shot a life if it's there. Good for you for caring for and about this dog.

Yep, sorry, but you HAVE to take the pup to the vet. Not eating or drinking are very bad signs. You have no choice as a dog owner than to take that little one to the vet. You should turn off the computer and head down to the emergency vet immediately, in fact!

Poor thing, this is conjuring up images for me that are making me very sad. Take him to the vet, he sounds so weak don't let him lie around and die without trying to get help for him. If you're smart enough to use the computer you're smart enough to call around for a shelter in your area that may offer free or cheap vet services or give you suggestions where you can get help. Do it soon ... good luck.

take him to the vet or call the ASPCA and tell them you have a sick dog you are willing to sign over to them but it really need urgent medical care, y would you own a dog you cant afford to give proper care if it lives through this get it a new home!!

This is very serious... A vet check up is only $50... I would suggest you do what you can to get him to one, he sounds very sick and if you dont get him to a vet he probably will die.
