Try to get a friend or family member to lend you some money. You NEED to take him to a vet.Good luck...

depends on the damage it suffers, for internal bleeding yes it will die eventually. just check its damage, if the ribs is torn apart then yes it will probably die within few days

Is there a vet you could go to that would set up a payment plan with you or something? The dog could die from infection from the cut, unless you're cleaning it everyday. There is also possibility of internal bleeding. How much does the dog mean to you???

U should feel bad because why did you get a dog in the first place if you can't afford to care for him properly? I feel really sorry for your dog, poor thing, living in constant pain just because his owner can't afford to take him to the vet.Take him to a vet and organise a repayment scheme, like say you have 1 year to pay the bills by etc.IT IS UNFAIR TO YOUR DOG TO LET HIM LIVE IN THIS PAIN JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE.Do something

Yes. GET HIM TO THE VET BEFORE I CALL ASPCA ON YOU.

I agree with the person who suggessted you give up your dog to a shelter/rescue. If you cannot take care of him, someone else can - and should.

call an emergency vet asap and take what little money you have on hand give them that and make a payment plan for the rest take him to the vet and DONT take no for an answer stay there until they wait on your dog PERSISTENCE

I would find a local 24 hour animal clinic or hospital, most will try and work out something with you as far as payment goes, especially if you just show up with the injured animal. Most vets I know would not have the heart to turn away an injured pet in their waiting room based on the owners inability to pay. Good luck, I hope all works out for your pet.

Wow, you know what? I think you should bring the dog to the humane society and they will take care of him. you are not a responsible person if 1. your dog got hit by a car, how did that happen? Was he on a leash? and 2. If you can not afford to take care of your dog, then really you should not have one.Please rehome your dog, for the dog's benefit, maybe one day in the future you will be in a situation where you can afford to own a dog. Owning a dog is a very expensive proposition. Good Luck to you and your dog
