I would send her a copy of the lemon law. It's very specific about diseases that show up in 15 days. I can help steer you towards documentation that shows the 13 day incubation period, or your vet can write her a letter too.

Inform her that if she chooses to not comply with the provision of the lemon law, that you will be seeking a lawyer for assistance in asserting your rights under the lemon law.

Most of the time, it's a matter of the breeder either not knowing the Lemon Law or them thinking that YOU don't know the law.


California Pet Lemon Laws






http://ad.doubleclick.net/ad/tmn.con...ord=123456789? California's law falls hardest on sellers of unhealthy dogs, but hobby breeders do not fall under its provisions except for the extremely active ones. It applies to anyone who sold, transferred, or gare away two or more litters during the preceding calendar year.
Buyers have 15 days to document contagious or infectious disease, one year to document congenital or hereditary defects. The seller has 120 days to produce advertised registration papers. If the seller fails to do so, the buyer may return the dog for a full refund or keep the dog and receive a refund of 75 percent of the purchase price.
If the dog is proven to be ill or to have hereditary defects, the buyer is entitled to a replacement plus reimbursement for veterinary expenses related to certifying the dog's illness, up to the price of the dog including sales tax.
The buyer may also choose a refund plus reimbursement for veterinary expenses related to certifying the dog's illness, up to the price of the dog.
If the buyer elects to have the dog treated, the seller is required to cover up to 1 1/2 times the purchase price of the dog in veterinary expenses.
It is important to note that the cost of testing to certify a dog unhealthy could double what a seller is obligated to refund to the purchaser. This makes it very expensive to sell ill and defective dogs in California.
