Pet's info: Dog | Parson Russell Terrier | Female | unspayed | 6 months and 8 days old | 8 lbs

Hi, I have a minature jack Russel dog called Talia. In the past hour she has completely changed from the bouncy little baby she is. She is shaking her mouth is watering really bad and she has no balance. She is falling all over the place and her tail is right between her legs. She has a very slow heart beat. I'm a student and I have no money to go to a vets right now. What should I do? Thank you in advance

It is possible that she got into something toxic, like chocolate, raisins, or grapes for example. Or it could even be plant fertilizer, etc. She needs to be seen by the vet right away to determine the exact cause of her problem. Perhaps family or friends could help with the cost, or you might be able to work out a payment plan with the vfet.
