6yr old Shih-tzu is vomitting her food, moving slowly and shaking.. PLEASE HELP ME!!!?

My 6 yr old female shih tzu, Misty, is puking up all of her food and is barely moving. When she does she moves slowly..



Ok I will start when she first started doing strange things:



a few weeks ago she stopped eating, and she started pooping diarhea. A day later I woke up and there was a pile with diarea and a bit of blood..



During that week, I fed her some ham / chicken / anything else she would eat, because I knew something terrible is happening, but I cant afford a vet.



So just yesterday she started getting her eating schedule right, I usually feed her 3 Little Ceasars wet food packages each day (they recommend 4 per small dog). She has been eating the Mignon / Chicken Liver flavour basically since we got her.



Please let me know if you know whats up, and is there any place I can go that is free to see whats up!



I love my dog so much and it will be very dramatic if she dies. Im 18 and my dog is my damn life, I cannot live without her!



Please help me!6yr old Shih-tzu is vomitting her food, moving slowly and shaking.. PLEASE HELP ME!!!?
There are a whole host of things that could be wrong (parvo, blockage, bloat, cancer, infection, worms, etc.) and there is no way to accurately diagnose your just from the description. Besides that for the issues you are describing there isn't really a home remedy to fix it...



YOU NEED TO GO TO THE VET NOW.



If you had dealt with this earlier I might have suggested going to a Banfield clinic at a Petsmart since they tend to be cheaper... or maybe talk to your local shelter and see if they could help or suggest a low cost clinic....



And sorry to be a "Debbie Downer" but if you can't afford a vet that means you can't afford a dog.... vet visits are part of owning a dog!! Trust me... I have seen the alternative and its not fair to the animal... Its selfish to use your pet for love and attention yet not be able to care for it properly...



EDIT: If it does turn out to be an infection see if your vet will write you a script so you can get it filled at the grocery store. Lots of grocery stores these days have super cheap or even free antibiotics.... I'm in Ohio so I go to Giant Eagle and my dog's antibiotics are FREE!!



Also since you're young since if your vet might let you work off your debt... filing, answering phones, cleaning kennels, maybe even assisting...6yr old Shih-tzu is vomitting her food, moving slowly and shaking.. PLEASE HELP ME!!!?
Well, my dog kind of had the same thing (except the blood) and it turned out to be an infection. I don't know if it's fatal if left untreated, but if there's blood, you better find the money for the vet. Or do an online search on animal shelters, etc. They might be able to help for a reduced price or maybe even free.
could be many things...blood in stool is scary....call a vet...money is not important when you are dealing with something you love so much...plus she may be in alot of pain and suffering....you can pay the vet in payments, I'm sure they will gladly work out something for you....they love animals too, or they wouldn't be doing the job they do....please ,please call the vet.6yr old Shih-tzu is vomitting her food, moving slowly and shaking..

consider going to the SPCA or Humane Society with your dog and surrender the dog maybe or ask her to be seen by a vet.If you cannot afford to pay,you can sign her over to the shelter,instead of watching her die slowly.
Take it to a vet?6yr old Shih-tzu is vomitting her food, moving slowly and shaking.. PLEASE HELP ME!!!?
oh, im so sorry! all i can say is that maybe switch her food. at this time of year she might have allergies to some thing in the air? all i know is that she may be having a reaction to the food or something. depending on her age.... it may be time for her.....

Im sorry! please do everything you can to help your poor little pal. i know how horrible and dramatic you can be if your pet dies. ive had a number of pets that died. please have her checked out. im sorry- i dont know where... i hope she'll get better. :) :) :) :) :) good luck. look at what she is puking up. maybe its her food that her body doesnt agree with. tell her im with her and you 100% i wouldnt want that to happen to my dog!



look at the bright side: she may just have a fever and you can treat it with medicine.
