Help for my chihuahua he was attacked

My chihuahua was resting & my friend's Pitbull came up and ripped him out of his little bed and tossed him around in the air and threw him down on the ground like a rag doll. He tried to eat his head off, I intervened & the pitbull bit me twice but I was determined to rip open his jaws and get my dog loose, My dog is all swollen from his top half and up & he can barely move & I can barely touch him. I gave him some chewable aspirin but I'm so scared. I don't want him to die. I don't know if he may have internal bleeding; how do I know to make sure? You can't even really touch him without him crying out in so much pain? He just looks at me with so much pain in his eyes, I feel so horrible. I don't have money for a vet I'm practically disabled for the past couple years I've been fighting a disability case & I'm staying at my friends place. I don't know what to do but he's like almost 11 years old & he's my last little baby I can't lose him. He barely moves around he's so swollen I just don't know what to do. He just looks so different, anyone any help or advice please it would be so appreciated & be eternally grateful.

Some vets help out with people that don’t have the ability to pay. People donate to vet clinics for people that can’t pay. Check in to that especially if on a fixed income

(Sorry, I clicked enter before I thought of this) Also be careful giving him aspirin if you suspect he may have internal bleeding. Aspirin can make it worse. He desperately needs a vet.

I am so deeply sorry about what has happened to your little dog.
The only thing I can possibly suggest, is to get him to a vet. Is there any way you could arrange to borrow the money from a bank...or a friend, or anyone?

Poor little  thing. I hope he will recover. I can just feel all the love you have for him. Bless him, and I hope he'll be okay.
