sorry your little girl is in pain but truly the only way to know for sure is a net some will let you make payments also some with a real love for dogs will even do the exam free you would have to pay for the meds surely some one would be willing to help you call around to several vets tell them you have no money but please do not give her any meds until you know what the problem is bless your little dog.
if you think its worms then you have to examine her fecies and you’ll be able to see them if she does have worms. And if she does then you need to buy some dewormer. you can buy it cheaper if you buy it online and get it shipped.
The ONLY healthy answer here is to suck it up and take this poor creature to the vet for proper medical care. if you cannot afford to provide proper care for all of your animals then please contact the local humane organization for help in rehoming one or all of them.
The only thing that will fix that is dewormer, which you must get from the vet or a place like Tractor Supply.
They do carry dewormers in stores so you can try one of those. But if at all possible I would highly recommend a vet trip. Not all dewormers kill all parasites (ex a lot of them don’t kill tapeworms) and the store ones generally aren’t near as effective as the ones prescribed by the vet. Remember that you will need to treat more than once. Dewormers only kill the adult worms (not eggs or larva). The first round kills all the adults in the dog’s system. The eggs and larva generally take about 4 weeks to mature to an age where they can begin to lay eggs. Give the next dose 3 weeks after the first. By giving in 3 week intervals any larva will have matured enough to be killed by the dewormer but not be old enough to make more eggs, thus stopping the cycle. Good Luck!
The ONLY way to know is to take her to a vet. If a dog’s infestation is too bad, they need to be wormed under vet supervision. How do you know her stomach is hurting?
You "wasted" $300.00 last Friday by taking another pet to the vets? Sorry, but if you can’t afford veterinary care for ALL of your pets….you have TOO MANY pets!
If you can’t afford to care for your dog, why do you have one? Worms should be treated at the vets. I am concerned for your puppy that it wont get the care it needs from you. Dogs are expensive commitments. Maybe you can find another home for your dog? I am sorry to sound cruel, but I am very concerned that you say you "wasted" $300 at the vet for your dog. That is very sad.
