I have a 3 day old puppy chihuahua that has got bitten in the stomach what can I do I cannot afford a vet help

I have 2 female chihuahuas and one of them gave birth, the other one came and tried grabbing the puppy and when I went to get the puupy I saw that it is injured, it looks like the dog hurt it with its teeth and its bleeding it has a very bad scratch in one side and like a dot on the other, I don't know if they are deep wounds but it looks like it, the puppy was bleeding in the begining but it stopped now, I cannot afford a vet at this time, any suggestions on how to care for it myself. Please help anyone with any suggestions

Take the dog to the vet and work out a payment plan. Like someone said, If you can afford a computer, tv, phone and other basic necessities surely you can afford making small payments on a vet bill.


Im sure if YOU were the one that was in need of medical attention you wouldn't hesitate getting to the hospital would you?
Reply:Why Can't you go to the vet? If you dont have money why do you have a computer? Offer it to the vet until she/he takes it!!!! quit being lazy and get a job if your old enough
Reply:Is this just a common occurrence here or what?? People that shouldn't be breeding, ARE?


You should take htis little pup to the vet, you have NO idea if and what internal damage could have been done to this newborn puppy!!!





WHEN you get the money from selling these pups, get your female spayed.
Reply:The bite could have caused internal damage to the puppy, and the cut on the outside can become infected quite quickly. I would really suggest taking the puppy to the vet so it doesn't have to suffer, use a credit card, borrow money, do whatever you can to get it to the vet.
Reply:Sorry, but you have no choice but to take that poor puppy to the vet. If you spayed and neutered, you wouldn't have this problem.





Some vets have payment plans, now quickly! Take that baby to the vet! The puppy deserves more then that!
Reply:GO TO A VET NOW ask you neighbour a family member any one jus go now any vet will let you pay in installments if you can't afford it!

Reply:You know the lecture most will give...





Clean the wounds with some type of antiseptic, keep them clean, if a scab forms over the 'dot' keep a very close eye on it. It may be a puncture wound that is infected, this is the worst that can happen. If it appears that there is swelling and redness (you may or may not be able to detect heat on the belly) make sure the wound can drain. Without going to the vet this is really all you can do.
Reply:SORRY.....NO SYMPATHY FOR YOU HERE.....GO TO THE VET!!





SIMPLE.................IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU....TAKE HIM TO THE VET VET VET!!!





IF THAT WERE YOU OR YOUR SISTER OR BROTHER, OR MOTHER, OR DAUGHTER/SON...............WOULDN'T YOU TAKE THEM TO THE DOCTOR?????





PLEASE GO NOW!!! TO THE VET!!
Reply:If you can't take it to the vet write that pup off.You have no way of telling how serious the injury is yourself
Reply:If you can't afford to properly care for the pups, why did you breed?


The only way to know for sure if any serious damage was done to the pup is to take it to a vet.


Also, keep the other female far away from the pups!
Reply:If you don't have enough money for the vet, you shouldn't have pets. Period. Take the puppy to the vet...please!
Reply:I agree with everyone that said you need to get the pup to the vet, but if that's not going to happen you will probably find that the mother will keep licking the wound trying to help it heal. This can be a good thing, but it can also irritate the pup and do more damage. The best thing to do would be to keep an eye on it, make sure that you keep it clean and not let the mother at it too much. A mixture of salt and warm water would be the way to go, clean it up every couple of hours...as some others said, there is no way to tell how bad the bite is, because the way dog bites present on the surface gives you no clue as to how much tearing has gone on under the skin. Ring the vet and ask them what to do as well, they'll guide you. After this, don't have any more animals that you can't provide emergency care for.
Reply:The other female needs to be kept from any possible access to the pups again.


Next, you really need to see a Vet with this pup or there's a good chance it will die. If not from possible internal injuries, then possibly from inadequately treated infection.


The wounds need to be cleaned out. Pharmacies sell a sterile saline wash solution that sprays a stream and cleans out wounds without burning. This won't keep bacteria from causing infection from a puncture wound though.


If nothing else, cleanse with some hydrogen peroxide. This advice does not take the place of a Vet though!


Hope this pup survives. If the mother starts to push it away, you might have to separate it, keep it warm, help it feed, stimulate it to go to the bathroom after each feed.


Hope you can get to a Vet and hope this one survives. Sorry to hear this has happened.
Reply:You are taking a chance with the pup...


If you aren't going to take him...then you may end up with more problems and HIGHER vet bills by waiting...


IF you STILL aren't going to take him...


keep an eye on the pup..make sure he is still eating and pooping...keep weighing him...to make sure he is gaining weight...not loosing...if the pup is going to "die"? honestly? at this young of an age you will loose him quickly...the next 6-10 hours(if not less) will probably tell...


I doubt that at this age...there is much a VET is going to do...he will probably give you some warning signs to watch for...but as far as any type of meds or surgery to help the pup? Doubt a VET can/will do much...at the VERY least...call a VET...
Reply:what the hell are you doing breeding your dogs? if the breeding was intentional, shame on you for being stupid..and if it was an accidental pregnancy, shame on you for being irresponsible. if you can't afford to even help the poor newborn pups..ugh people like you make me so angry. i dont even know what to say.
