She was being offered food during that time as well. I'm thinking that heat fluctuations with food still in her system are definitely the reason for the almost sepsis-like bloating she had near the beginning of the summer. Toxins could have built up in her system causing neurological damage, which finally gives me a reason for her 'narcolepsy' and her tendency to get impacted easily.
I should say that this person legitimately did not believe they were harming Trevor, and would never do something they THOUGHT would harm an animal. It's more a case of refusing to believe information from a knowledgeable source. Regardless, people only get one chance when it comes to my ectothermic friends, and this person will not be pet-sitting for me in the future.
