    Your dog is most likely going to die. It was trying to get the poison out of its system by vomiting but that doesn't work antifreeze is very poisonous and without vet care it will most likely die. You shouldn't have a dog if you can't afford vet care.

    No your dog won't be 'fine'. Antifreeze is poison to dogs, much as they are attracted to the sweet taste. Find the money and take him straight to a vet - it may already be too late.

    If you don't take your dog to the vet it will likely die. It might already be too late because you have waited hours. Antifreeze is a dangerous poison. Just call a vet. You can see if you can get a loan to cover the fee.

    If you're sure he drank antifreeze, you need to make your dog drink some alcohol right away, like beer. Antifreeze will crystallize your dog's kidneys. Alcohol will reverse that effect.

    You can afford vet care. You can afford the net, cable and other luxries. With out vet care the dog will die, that simple. Since you are too cheap and dont care enough to save the dogs life, surrender it to a rescue

    It needs to see a vet. If you can't afford vet care then surrender the dog

    Of course not, it will die a slow painful death, then start digging a hole to bury it, making sure it's deep enough so predators don't dig it up and eat and suffer the same fate.

    I kind of doubt your sincerity since you call your dog 'it'. But in any event no, your 'it' dog will probably not recover.

    Then your dog will probably die...... Seriously it needs treatment from a vet period.
