No money til the middle of next month? That's a long time when you got a puppy acting like yours is. I think you'll have to find the money to at least get the check up to find out what the problem is. Might be nothing, but it might be something very serious.

Since you have no money to take your dog to a vet, I'm guessing that you've never had her vaccinated. And now she's sick.
You should be scared, because your dog needs medical attention. Maybe she's got an upset stomach, maybe she's got parvo. Only a vet exam will tell. No one on YA can tell you what's wrong.
Call your vet tomorrow and see if you can arrange to make payments for a visit. Put ten dollars down or offer to clean cages or answer phones as a show of faith and your promise to pay.

Does she appear in pain when you touch her stomach or try to pick her up? Try and feed her some meat, or wet dog food, and provide water to her even if she doesn't want it (but DO NOT make her drink it). I understand you don't have any money, but call a vet anyway and ask for advice, they will usually give some help over the phone.
Good luck with your dog.

she might eat wet food b/c it has a stronger scent. Dogs stop eating when they can't smell. You really need to take her to the vet. Try to set up a payment plan - or use credit. A month is a long time and young dogs don't fight off sickness as well as older dogs.

She may have swallowed an item of clothing & is having trouble passing it. I'm sure the vet will do a deal with you if you explain the situation. They love animals as well as money, believe it or not.

Not good. Find a vet that will accept payments or bum the money, but she really needs to go. If the loss of appetite is followed by vomiting and/or diarrhea, she needs to be taken now.

I will say this until there is no longer a need to say it. If you can not afford to care for a pet, please don't get one. Now that that's out of the way, take your puppy to the vet. Vets always have payment plans. If it turns out that she doesn't have something chronic, look into getting pet insurance. It is very helpful, but needs to be obtained before your dog has a serious illness.

Firstly, why in the he** did you get a dog if you can't afford to take care of it?! I'm sure you're concerned about her BUT it really chaps my hide when people get pets and can't afford the price of taking care of it the right way!!
Borrow some money from someone and take that pooch to the vet!!

Maybe she just has a upset stomach. She may be some better tomorrow. See how she is then. I am so sorry and I wish your dog the best!

Take her to the vet as soon as you have the money - something may be wrong.
