So sorry for that poor puppy, sounds like he never had a chance.

Does TX have puppy lemon laws and laws against selling dogs under 8 weeks old, many states do. If this was me, I would have someone call this so called breeder from a different number and pretend they want to buy a puppy, get her to meet up in a place busy like in front of pet smart or petco. I would then go there with a bunch of people (several men) perhaps people from groups against puppy mills. Bring your vet bills. Depending on the TX laws you could perhaps get a policeman or animal control officer to meet you there. Have people take pictures of her, have someone watch her car when she drives up and get her lic. plate number, you can use that to get her contact info to take her to small claims court and find out what type of place she is running. Did she give you a contract, if so she could be liable for what was on that, especially if she made stuff up. Use your anger to stop her and to try to recoup some of your money.

BTW how much did you pay for the dog??
