Why is my dog sick after puppies, refusing food, and throwing up?

Question

My dog had puppies and she's been severely underweight since. But now that were starting to get rid of them she refuses food she is depressed I guess is the word? Anyways very lethargic. She drinks a lot of water but she throws up a thick clear substance afterwards. I don't have enough money for an actual vet can someone please just tell me what they think is wrong with her so I can treat it at home? Please give me as detailed an answer as possible so I can treat it from my home. Thanks. Pet's info: Dog | Pit Bull Terrier | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 2 months old | 30 lbs

I don’t think she is depressed. I think she is probably sick. I worry about a uterine infection called a pyometra. It is a pus filled uterus. It doesn’t happen often just after pregnancy, but it can. If this is her problem it is life threatening without surgery. I would encourage you to take her to your local humane society or city shelter as often they will provide low cost or even free spay and neuter. Here is another link with ideas to help you financially. http://www.dogheirs.com/resources-affordable-veterinary-care/ I hope she does not have a pyometra, but if she does it is really improving to get her spayed as soon as possible. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
