Unfortunately there is not much you can do, first of all all dogs pain killers require prescription, secondly it could be a sign of a very severe and urgent condition- you need to take her to the vet ASAP. If money is an issue please contact a cat charity in your area of living, they can help with costs of treatment in many cases. Many vets also have payment plans, and there is also a credit company that will land you money toward vet bills ( https://www.carecredit.com/vetmed/) .
