When can I safely worm my mother dog and the 4 week old puppies?

I sold my pug puppy to a pug-experienced woman (who already had 4 pugs in her home). He was perfectly healthy when I delivered him to her home (after driving an hour and half just so I could see the place). I spent an hour or more in her home to be sure he would get along with the other dogs, and so that I felt he would be happy there. I gave her a copy of his shot record, and disclosed anything and everything I could think of that she could need to know about him. A week later, AFTER she took him to the vet for a checkup and he received a clean bill of health from her vet (other than the typical worms, which all animals get at some point or another), she e-mails me to tell me that he died after emergency surgery for an obstruction in his intestines. I am distraught over his death, because I trusted this person to take care of my baby. All of the research I have done online concerning obstruction in puppies says you should see symptoms within 12-15 hours. He had no symptoms. In fact, for the first few days after she had him, he was fine. THEN he stopped eating. Her house was not dirty, but cluttered, which adds to my concern that he ingested something in her home that would not pass. He was still a puppy, in the chewing phase, and I wondered if maybe she just bit off more than she could chew in getting another pug.
My question is this: can she try to sue me to cover the medical bills? I have an mp3 of her voicemail where she states that her doctor says the dog is fine. I have saved every e-mail between the two of us, and I have been nothing but honest when addressing her concerns. I feel that he ate something at her home and now, since she had him only a week, she is going to try to say it was something he ate at my home. Help, please???

We got a new puppy 1 week ago and took her to the vet 2 days later to make sure everything was OK. (She’s our first dog and we wanted to be extra careful b/c we don’t have much experience with puppies. The vet said she had worms and intestinal parasites. He told us to give her 1 tablet of Drontal Plus and 3 syrnges of marquis (1 per day for 3 days). She didn’t eat very much when we first got her (which is one of the reason we took her to the vet, but since we started her on the meds she stopped eating all together. We gave her boiled chicken and rice twice about 36 and 48 hours ago, she ate it, but didn’t keep it down. We also called the place where we got her from (foster mom) and she said not to worry and make sure she drinks water and has access to food and she’ll be fine… We just want to make sure. We gave her the last dose of her meds last night, so we hope she improves today. She does drink water without a problem. It is Sunday and we plan to take her in tomorrow if she doesn’t improve. Does anyone else know about this or have any experience with these symptoms? She is starting to look frail and we are worried about her. Please help!
