Embarassed Need advice on breeder obligation? pup is sick

Flew to texas from Calif. to pick up pup from breeder on Friday 14, 21 breeder kept pup for 13 weeks she was concerned with weight she said wasn't a big eater and she didn't give full deworm due to med making his stool soft after second doses. He won't eat his regular food and barely eats boiled chicken, poops are mucusy Today, Monday I bring the pup to the vet and the vet says most likely parasites. Vet doesn't want to finish vaccines because pup is sick. Vet gives dewormer (Strongid T) and Metronidazole .03 every 12 hours. I have been in contact with the breeder during the whole time texts back and forth. I told her I was stressed having a sick pup right out of the gate. She asked to call her after the vet visit. She doesn't think he has parasites as other pups didn't have them, she said . She wants me to buy liverwurst and mix with rice and chicken and just give the probiotics she recommends. I asked if she was willing to pay for the vet and she said that she didn't want to do that , but in three days if he is not better she will fly out to pick him up to give me my money back $3000, just the cost of the pup. I said the flight is about $500 so could she reimburse me for the vet bill until he is better, she basically said no. She will take him to her vet make him well and sell to someone else. I'm so sad! I was recommended to this breeder by another top breeder in texas, and up until now I was completely over joyed with this breeder, but now, no so much. Am I in the wrong here? Any advice is appreciated. BTW the pups dad is/was Rosemarks. I don't want to bash this breeder as I think she is great and I was hoping to go back for a second Pup later.
