Unlove HELP! Yorkie puppy suddenly ill resulting in death

I bought a 9 week old 2lb yorkie puppy from a breeder in Orlando for $800. ($200 deposit non refundable) We purchased her on Wed and brought her home. She seemed to be healthy and just a few hours after arriving at our house began to vomit and have diarrhea. I consulted the breeder and she said that it could be due to her shots that she had gotten on wed prior to us picking her up and to give her nutracal and pedialite This lasted till Thursday afternoon and the puppy seemed normal until Friday night when she began to do it again but worse. So Friday night I was up with her all night throwing up and on Saturday I took her to the vet to be inspected. The vet did all the normal parasite tests(including parvo) and they all came back negative. They gave her fluid under the skin to help with the dehydration that they said she had and sent me home with a broad spectrum parasite medication just in case after a $200 vet visit. From then on at home she just kept getting worse and worse. I held her on my lap the entire night and was noticing that she would not shut her eyes, but that she would just rest. Around 3am I laid down to go to bed and placed her on my chest for body heat. At 7:30am I woke up and pet her and she was barely warm. So I picked her up and realized she was dead. I was devastated. We had only had her for 4 days and we were already very connected with her. We placed her in a cooler and took her to the vet to be cremated so that we could keep her ashes. The vet closed at 5, but called at 530 to see if we wanted a necropsy done and I declined not knowing that I needed it to get a refund. So after I went through the paper work, I immediately called the vet back and only got a voice mail due to them being closed and left 3 vms stating I would like to change my answer and do the necropsy. They called me back at 9am and told me it could be done, but after paying $390 and the fact that they could come back inconclusive due to the fact that she had already been frozen for preservation I declined again. I contacted the breeder about the dog being ill and was in touch with her every day until yesterday when the dog passed. I called at 8 am after the shock had set in and no answer, then called again about thirty minutes later. Still no answer. So I proceeded with a text asking her to call me as soon as possible. This morning I woke up and was still a little distraught by everything and not receiving any communication with the breeder so I decided to try calling again, no answer so I sent another text requesting a phone call asap. The breeder still has not contacted me. I really would like some advice on what to do because I am at a loss for words at this point.
