My dog hasn’t pooped In 5 days. The first day she was sick she puked up underwear! She has been vomiting, tired, and not eating. I have given her pumpkin, water, and other things to try helping her nothing has worked. I don’t have money to take her to the vet what should I do?

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I am really concerned about Pumkin head, especially since she has vomited up underwear and is continuing to act ill. One of my biggest concerns is that she could have something stuck in her intestines causing a blockage or obstruction. This is a surgical emergency, because something in the intestines has the potential to cause rupture of the intestines. The best way to diagnose this is with abdominal x-rays. If there is anyone who can help you out financially, bringing her to an emergency veterinarian right away is ideal. If you absolutely cannot, please ensure she has plenty of access to water. You may try offering her small amounts of a highly digestible diet, such as boiled chicken and boiled rice. I hope this is helpful - sorry to hear that she is so sick.
