Unhappy I need help fast

I purchased a 3 month old yorkie on Dec. 20 as a present for my son. His name is Dexter and he is the most beautiful puppy I have ever seen. But poor Dexter is very sick. A week after getting him home, he seemed strange. He didn't like walking around or chewing on things or even playing with toys. He bagan choking, I took him to the vet and he said he had kennel cough. He was treated for that and I still was concerned with his behavior. I contacted the breeder and they said it was normal- he needs time to get used to us. OK well now my poor puppy is at the vet and has been there since yesterday afternoon. It is Saturday night now and he stopped eating on Thursday. He wouldn't get out of bed and walk around. I put him near his food and he wouldn't touch it. I gave him water and he drank it and urinated normally but that was it. He has loose stools and I rushed him to the vet. When he took Dexters temp. there was blood in his stool. He also lost 2 ounces since last Saturday when we were there. He was dehydrated and the vet said he need to be on iv fluids and antibiotics. I spoke with them 3 times today and they still haven't done tests on him. Has anyone else had similar problems with their puppies and have any suggestions for me. I just want my poor baby to get better.
