Usually a breeder offers a certain time period (usually 48-72) hours for a puppy to be taken to a vet to be checked out...physical exam, fecal, etc. Coccidia should have been checked for at that time, and if it was found at that point then the breeder should take care of it. But two weeks later...seems like the puppy probably got it while in the care of the new owners. So far as hypoglycemia - the breeder ought to keep a puppy until a minimum of 12 weeks (or until the puppy is eating and doing well on its own for a few weeks) to protect against this. After 12 weeks, most puppies aren't as at risk for that anymore. But ALL puppies are at risk for hypoglycemia and that's not the breeder's fault...the new owners should be told what to look for and what to do, but it is their responsibiliity to make sure their puppy doesn't get those symptoms. And if the puppy had liver shunt, well that explains the hypoglycemia..seems more like one issue to me. And of course liver shunt should be taken care of by the breeder. The breeder should pay for treatment UP TO the cost of the puppy or refund the purchase price and at least be there for support.
