Poor Zoey. You do need to have her checked out by a vet asap because pooping blood can have very serious causes like hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. If paying for a vet is an issue, 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. I'd also see if you can borrow money from family and friends. 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/

This sounds like his condition should be investigated sooner rather than later. He could have ingested something toxic, swallowed something that is causing an obstruction and as such a small dog, continued vomiting can cause low blood sugar and/or electrolyte imbalance that can affect his heart function. If you are in financial difficulty, there are ways of still getting your pet treated by a veterinarian. Call your vet and tell them your situation. They may have a way to get your dog seen now and pay them when you are able. Ask if they take Care Credit and apply online. This is a credit card specifically for medical, dental, and veterinary expenses. This one has helped me care for my pets when they needed it and I didn't have the cash available at the time. Call a local animal shelter or college of veterinary medicine in your area and ask if they have a low- or no-cost veterinary care program. GiveForward and Youcaring.com are crowd funding websites that help you raise money to help take care of your pets Harley’s Hope Foundation is an organization that ensures low income pet parents and their companion or service animals remain together when issues arise. Many breed rescues and groups have specials funds available for owners who need financial assistance, such as the Special Needs Dobermans, Labrador Lifeline, and Pitbull Rescue Central. Banfield Pet Hospital has its own programs for owners that can’t afford their pet’s care. God's Creatures Ministry helps pay for veterinarian bills for those who need help. IMOM is dedicated to insure that no companion animal has to be euthanized simply because their caretaker is financially challenged. The Onyx & Breezy Foundation has many programs including helping people with medical bills. They are a good resource for information. Brown Dog Foundation provides funding to families with a sick pet that would likely respond to treatment, but due to circumstances, there is not enough money immediately available to pay. Some groups help with specific disease, such as Canine Cancer Awareness, The Magic Bullet Fund, Helping Harley Fund, and Muffin Diabetes Fund. The Pet Fund and Redrover.org are great sources for help to care for your pet. The Humane Society website has many links to other organizations that help with veterinary expenses.

Jack sounds very ill! When a dog is both vomiting and having diarrhea, it is time to see a vet. Both those symptoms at once are severe enough to warrant a trip to the vet, and there is nothing you can do for him at home. He could have a GI illness, pancreatitis, or a foreign body. If paying for a vet is an issue, 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. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com Please take Jack into the vet right away.

This is a medical emergency and he has to see a vet now. This cannot be treated at home, and leaving him in this condition is cruel. You have no choice but to take him into a vet now.
