I am so sorry you lost your little pup...I agree that it seems Strange an emergency vet turned you away. Shame on them. And shame on the "breeder" who sold her to you at 7 weeks. It's definately truth that you need to have a good relationship with your regular vet as well as an emergency vet clinic. 7 weeks is early...but coccidia is a nasty parasite....very dangerous left untreated....highly contagious also. Have you notified said "breeder"? If she has offered no compensation I would check puppy "lemon" laws within your state.
