Answers:
Well, the other dogs being fine does not rule out Parvo or Corona, unless she has been vaccinated. Please take her to a vet in the next town. Surely you can find one who cares enough to help. Otherwise, giving her Kaopectate (in the baby dept at grocer's) following directions for babies, and Pedialyte(also in baby section) mixed with 1/2 water every few minutes is about all you can do. Give small amount every 20 minutes or so. If you have a pet supply store, or Walmart, you can get NutraCal for her. It will give her energy and replace minerals she loses with watery stools. It comes in a tube, that you squeeze into her mouth every couple of hours.

take the dog right to the vet and promise you will pay them i dont think they will turn you away if you go there with the dog. but if you already did that then i dont know sorry hope your doggy gets better.
this animal needs to be seen by a vet ASAP, start calling all listed in the phone book until you find one that will work out payment plan with you, best of luck
If you even have to ask what to do, you shouldn't have a pet. GET TO THE VET! Grammar is horrible, use spell checker. There is one on here..........
First of all, I would like to say I am very sorry to hear about your dog passing on. From your question, it is very evident, you are a person who truly loves animals. As far as the rude ignorant comment made by alwayscurious, I would not take anything she says to heart. She is as cold and callous as they come. Someone who is more worried about spell checks rather than be concerned about the real issue here, shouldn't even be allowed to comment on anything. I feel truly sorry for you, because you are obviously someone with a low self esteem. WELL MISS SPELL CHECK, WHY DONT YOU GO TO DICTIONARY.COM AND LOOK UP THE WORD COMPASSION.
I'm really sorry to hear that she died...got teary eyed when I read that...ignore the inconsiderate people here. I just wanted to write something, because it really does sound like parvo. Last year I lost a whole litter of puppies to it, but they all caught it at different times. All six of them died, but it took two months from the first to the last. The vet told me if I gave the other puppies pepto after the first started showing signs they could've been saved. You obviously love your dogs like your kids, so I don't want you to go through this again with your other dogs. If they're puppies, those are the ones you have to worry about cause it kills them due to their lower immune systems. Just wanted to pass on the knowledge...and once again I'm deeply sorry to hear you lost your puppy :(
Get the dog to the vet ASAP
poor little thing.alot of times i say 'take it to the vet' and i'm not as nice about it,but you actually explained your situation and let us know about the vet situation. is there any chance that they will take payments? like according to your salary or income? you might have to travel alittle to get her to a REAL vet. and even if they are that expensive,they will probably take payments. that always helps. some vets are just out for the money. i would definitely call vets in the surrounding counties and see what they can offer.
