Oh dear , I am very sorry you lost Basil. I believe the breeder placed you in this terrible position though. Possibly not on purpose though. However, I agree that you need to contact the breeder ASAP, and let her know what happened to Basil. You only had him for 2 days. I believe he was extremely ill when you brought him. I also think it would be a good idea to take him to get a examined /nercrospy and find out exactly what took the life of Basil. I would not bring home a new puppy until you know what caused the death of Basil. Because you run the risk of anther puppy being exposed the the same illness as Basil. Example, Parvo.
I hope the breeder will be good to you, and not give you a hard time, after what has happened. IMO, I hope that she gives you all of your money including the deposit back, than I'd be looking for a reputable breeder. Going through the AKC channel.
