Please follow this link:  http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_veterinary_care.html

There is help available.  The entire article is too long to post here.  But there is a mountain of information on this web page concerning how to get assistance in paying for you to take care of your baby.

Please call around and find a vet who will work with you on money.  OR call a rescue.  You will to have to surrender him but isn't that preferable to him dying in agony???
Do something, anything to get this dog help!

Isn't there a low cost vet where you live?  Why on earth did you take on the responsibility of becoming a pet owner if you can't afford to take him in if he's sick?  He needs a vet, now.

How old is he? I had a 90 lb Bouvier that stopped eating and became very week. After 6 days he couldn't even stand up. They thought it was pancreatitis. Is he throwing up yellow bile or is it clear? If he is not old it could be something he ate. In any case you have to find a way to take him to the vet.

It really does sound like he needs to be seen by your vet.Has he had his vaccines.There is a paste called Nutrical that you can go get at a petstore or from your vet.It will help keep some calories in him.He needs to have alot of fluids kept in him with the vomiting.You could try to give him some chicken broth and rice.That might help to get him to eat.There are alot of things that it could be.When he goes to potty is that normal?I hope that your baby gets to feeling better soon.Please keep us posted.Take care and God Bless

I can't tell you what is wrong. There could be a few things this could be.
You MUST take him to the vet. One way or another, you have to relieve his suffering. Perhaps you could check out "Care Credit"...or overdraw at the bank...or do it on credit card....or borrow the money....whatever. Please try whatever you can.
If you don't get your dog to the vet, like NOW...it is seriously possible he will die of dehydration, apart from what else is wrong with him.
I do hope things work out ok
