You will also need/should look at Puppy Lemon Laws for your State. Initially your breeder offered to refund you the purchase price of the puppy, which would be what I would offer as well. Look to your contract of sales and your health warranty to see what is set out there.
But it looks like, neither you nor she seem to be able to afford the surgery; you can look at Care Credit to see what you qualify for.
Beyond that, you can contact some rescues Yorkie Haven Rescue is one such rescue, but you will need to surrender your dog to them.
There is an article in our library; called Help with Vet expenses you can peruse and see if you fit into any of their categories.
Has your boy been exhibiting any of the signs of Liver Shunt? Do you now have him on a special diet, along with medications to help his condition? Although I will say a high BATS is often indicative of Liver Shunt, there are other tests that need to be done to confirm same.
Just act quickly to explore your financial options, and in the meantime do not let your boy suffer!
I am very sorry you and your boy find yourself in this position. Your story and countless others like it, really highlight the need to put in place financial options in case of medical conditions, pet insurance is one such option.
I wish you and your boy all the best.
