Confused Was sold a sick pup and now stuck with vet bills

I bought lorelai in July and the day I picked her up I noticed her coughing and such...I told the owner (not the breeder) who owns the pet store (she is reputable..) and she offered to pay for the vet visits and such. So I took her to her vet, where she takes all the pups for their shots and check ups because she swore he was the best vet around. We long story short, two months later after being on clavamox, her white blood count was still extremely high and I spoke with the owner of the store about it and she said that she had been talking to the vet about my case and "they" concluded that it was allergies.

If it were allergies (which I understand may cause some of the spasms she has), but her white blood count would not high. So I took her to my vet, which by the way, is super expensive, but the only place I know close to home and I trust the doctor..It's been probably 6 weeks now that I have been going to her and she has been on baytril and it has helped tons...But we have been taking xrays to make sure it hasnt turned into pnemonia...OH and by the way with her first visit at my vets, we took another xray and she found cronic broncitis...I dont know if the other vet just didnt see it or if she got it two weeks after. ANYHOW over the past 6 weeks with my vet I have accrude over $1000 in vet bills with the new meds and xrays and blood counts. ugh. Its getting really discouraging to even take her to get checked to make sure things are progressing in the right direction. I want to confront the lady I bought her from but I dont have the personality too and I would feel bad and awkward (I hate awkward situations) especially since I spend and have spent LOTS of money at her store over the past year or so. Darn dogs are spoiled as heck. What do you guys suggest I do, or say??? I had to change my wedding photographer to a cheaper one because I can't afford them anylonger because of the vet bill. RIDICULOUS!

Any suggestions will help Thank you
