My 11 year old puggle has excessive thirst and vomiting for a couple days. She's always drank a lot but not this bad. I feed her ol Roy, I am changing her food though because I heard its bad. I don't have money to take her to the vet, shes active, urninating and pooping. Pet's info: Dog | Puggle | Female | spayed | 11 years and 2 months old | 30 lbs

It sounds as Dixie is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could also be due to ingestion of a foreign body material. i would recommend taking her to the vet the first chance you get, she will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection she will need an anti vomiting injection, antibiotics and a special food for a few days in order to get better. if the vet thinks it is more serious she will need a blood test and possibly an ultrasound in order to find out what is wrong. If money is an issue please contact a dog 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/) .
