Answer
I am sorry to hear about your puppy.

How long did you have this puppy before it became ill, and what did the vet say when he saw the puppy and tried to treat him? Your question really is a question you should be asking your veterinarian.

These symptoms could be caused by anything from parvovirus to internal parasites to switching foods too rapidly, and so much depends on your vet's diagnosis of the problem. He is the one who can tell you if the puppy was sick when it was acquired or if it became sick after you had the dog for a few days... and what he says will determine whether the breeder was at fault or not.
