he ate a battery & i don’t have any money for a vet til later this week. idk what to do.
I'm truly sorry to hear about your situation. When a dog ingests a battery, it is indeed a serious matter because it can lead to chemical burns or blockages in their digestive system. It's crucial to seek veterinary care immediately, even if finances are a concern. Here are some steps you can take:
Firstly, reach out to a local veterinarian and explain your situation. Some veterinarians may offer payment plans or emergency options to help manage the costs.
While you are arranging for veterinary care, keep a close eye on your dog for any symptoms such as vomiting, lethargy, abdominal pain, or any unusual behavior, as these can indicate distress.
It's important not to induce vomiting, as this could potentially cause more harm to your dog.
Additionally, check if there are any emergency clinics nearby that might be able to provide assistance.
You might also consider reaching out to animal charities or organizations that offer help with emergency veterinary care.
Please prioritize getting professional help as soon as possible. If you have any further questions or need more guidance, feel free to ask. Thank you.
