sick puppy

[lbrox]

I have young puppy that has ne energy, loss of appetite, and has thrown. Up a couple of times. She's been lil this for 2 days. Hasn't had her shots. Very worried. I don't have much money to take care of the vet bills, what do you think is wrong with her? Any home remedies?

Ibrox I just noticed this, I will just bet your puppy has eaten some foreign object and it might still be in  her stomach or even esopasus. Can't spell. You must get her to a vet or you might lose her. If you take her to your local aspca or shelter they should have shots a lot cheaper for you and could maybe set you up with a cheaper vet. We have to face a sad truth here, if you cannot afford to care for her, maybe someone else can??

A six week old puppy MUST have its shots, otherwise it is open to contracting many diseases, some of which can be fatal.  If she is making a gagging noise, it could be that she has canine cough.  A very young puppy who vomits is in danger of dehydration, so it's imperative to get to the root of the problem and stop the vomiting ASAP so that dehydration is not a concern.  

The vomiting could be an early sign of something more serious yet to come.  It just scares the daylights out of me to think that a puppy who is no longer nursing has absolutely no protection against disease.  She needs to be seen by a vet ASAP for a couple of reasons, the first of which is to determine what is making her vomit.  Once the cause for the vomiting has been diagnosed, as long as it's not anything serious, she can receive her first vaccinations to start making sure she's protected against things like distemper, canine parainfluenza, parvovirus and other things.  Make an appointment for her tomorrow morning before things have a chance to progress further.

Hi thank u for your response, I do appreciate it. However, the puppy does not have diarrhea, wags his tail and moves and walks around a little. She gags like something is in her throat. But nothing comes out. Tried giving food nothing. About to take her to friend that knows a little about dog but she wont be home until 2 hours. Any more advice. Until then.

The fact it has no shots would be very concerning.  It could be anything from parasites to Parvo.  Does she have diarrhea?  Can't give you suggestions other then try feeding her chicken and rice and it is important she have fluids.  Puppies can go down hill very quickly.
I don't know why you took on the responsibility if a puppy if you cannot care for it properly.  The puppy should probably be seen by a Vet, esp if it is not improving or getting worse.  Any family members or friends that could help you out?
Good luck.  Hope you get the poor pup to a Vet.
