lost movement in lowerbody

My dog was limping yesterday, we thought she got stung by a bee because she was chasing them. this morning her whole leg was limp. you can tell she is in pain. about 5 hours ago she stopped getting up period. she haslimited to no movement in her hind legs or tail. i dont get paid for four more days and i can't find anyone who will help me get her to the vet sooner. is there anything i can do to comfort her. she will try to get up and move but just ends up falling or sitting in an ackward position. she is starting to drink and eat. i'm worried about the amount of pain she is in until i can get her to the vet.

This is very serious and she really should be taken to the vet ASAP.  Many vets will hold a check for later deposit or allow payment plans.  Additionally, you could apply for Care Credit which is a low to no interest credit card that can only be used for medical, veterinary or dental bills.  You can apply at many vets offices or online for Care Credit.

Causes of your dog's condition may include spinal diseases such as: trauma to the spine, Intervertebral disc disease,  fibrocartilaginous embolism, and many more.  Treatment options usually include mitigating the inflammation to the spinal nerves to regain function ASAP using anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxers, chiropractic, and other medications and therapies.
