please get your dog tothe vet. if she has blockage in her intestine, a little will get by but not all.  whatever could be in her tract could tear the lining. it isnt thst costly to do the dye test and xray, but could cost your dog her life if you don't.

Sorry to say, your dog sounds like he/she had convulsion/seizure....Please get ahold of vet or your nearest animal hosp...
Convulsions look like: jerking, kinda like their laying, and legs flipping like a platapus, kinda like a fish out of water, and they pee at that time....if this happens before you get to vet....rub and stay real calm, no loud voices, try not to get excited yourself and stay as calm as you can and kinda put your hands around and pet and soothe, talk real soft, to pull the dog out of seizure or convulsion....
Sorry for your distress, but the vet will either give some anianxiety meds to watch for a week, run an xray to see inside the body if you feel something was ate, or a dog can have convulsions from just a lot of pain...
Please keep us posted, and much luck to you and yours!!!

Please get your dog to the vet asap.  This is not normal and she should be examined.  Explain your financial situation and see about setting up a payment plan or use a credit card.  Let us know what happens.
