More bad news at Big Ears Kennel . We lost our second pup . It was a Blue Merle too . Been doing everything possible . Spoke with vet & making a follow up appointment tomorrow . In 14 years of raising Cardigans I'm puzzled . Gone from clean bill of health for pups & mom to loss of 2 pups . Checked mom's temp , 101.4 . Remaining pups strong & eager nursing . Mom is great & plenty of milk . Should be an ideal Cardigan litter . Will put vet to work tomorrow .
