Default "bitten by an insect."

So people wanted to know what the vet said about Jigglypuff earlier.

At first, it was a cold, but the vet "thinks" she may have been bitten by an insect in the night.

Apparently it was the "poisonous toxins" that made her face swell up instantly and her body was twisted and she got scarily thin, literally overnight.

Has anyone heard of this before?

No, never. But I do believe it could happen. They are so tiny and something that wouldn't bother us can have a much more dangerous effect on them.

I'm sorry for your loss. That's so sad

Not so long ago, someone posted that they thought their hamster had been bitten by a spider.
