My dog has been acting odd. Unlike her self. She has foam guck coming out of her nose and mouth. She can't breathe right. Has her mouth opened. I don't know what I can do to get her help. She sounds terrible. How can I get help for her? I am on a low income? She is my everything.

Ginger sounds extremely ill, and she has to see a vet immediately. If she can't breath right, she can quickly go into respiratory distress. You need to take her into an ER vet now. If paying for a vet is an issue, you can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Care Credit online. There is also an organization called Red Rover that give grants for treatment of sick animals, and you can see if you qualify for one of their grants. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com

This is a medical emergency, and Miley has to see a vet now. I see that she isn't spayed, and she could be suffering from a pyometra causing her symptoms. She needs veterinary attention right away, and I can give you some resources that may help you afford a vet.

Best Friends also has a list of resources that offer financial assistance on their website. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com http://bestfriends.org/resources/financial-aid-pets http://lessonsfromaparalyzeddog.com/when-pet-owners-cant-afford-veterinary-bills/ God's Creatures Ministry helps pay for veterinarian bills for those who need help. The Onyx & Breezy Foundation has many programs including helping people with medical bills. They are a good resource for information. Brown Dog Foundation provides funding to families with a sick pet that would likely respond to treatment, but due to circumstances, there is not enough money immediately available to pay. IMOM is dedicated to insure that no companion animal has to be euthanized simply because their caretaker is financially challenged. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.
