I am so sorry for the loss of Dutches. What a painful time for you. Please know that all of us lose pets, whether someone's fault, or not. It hurts just the same. Please know you are in all of our prayers. Please have your other pup examined by the vet soon.

When you can, please contact a vet or two, and develop a relationship with them. There wasn't any reason for the vet to refuse you, knowing you had a very sick pup on your hands. I would consider writing a letter to him/her, with a copy to the vet association in your state. I don't think that was appropriate.
