My dog is suddenly very ill and I can't afford emergency vet care?

Question

My dog is having a hard time standing up and if so, she stands shakily and walks like a drunk man. She can't lift her head that well ang her mouth is always open. Her tongue is like falling and she has a hard time eating foods. She can drink but she can't chew that well. I'm really worried I thought you could help me. We don't have money to let her be checked up on a vet. Please help us. I am terribly worried about her condition.

I would be very concerned that your dog has gotten into something toxic causing her symptoms. She sounds like she is very ill, and unfortunately there is nothing you can do at home for her, she absolutely has to have veterinary care now. I would consider her symptoms a medical emergency. I would see if you can borrow money from family and friends to afford a vet, and I can give you some resources that may help. 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. 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/ http://www.dogheirs.com/resources-affordable-veterinary-care/ I hope one of these resources helps you. 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.
