You're probably right - because my x and I didn't give it to her we didn't know exactly what happened. She was in the backyard (in the Midwest they have alleys running through the center of the block) when I found her she was already blown up. It was terrible! We only had her a short time - she was such a sweetie. We had a male that was older and much larger, who everyone loved, so it was hard to believe that someone had done it maliciously. We never did find out who fed her. I'm glad to know that it isn't bad for them... it's always worried me. Thanks again
