It's not a respiratory thing because Salvador had one of those before he died-- and the symptoms were very distinct (you knew immediately that something was wrong-- head held up high, bubbly salvia collecting at corners of mouth, loss of appetite, etc)
This is all crystalizing and mostly looks white, except on occasion turns the newspaper yellow.
I think there is a lot of pollen because my allergies have been going nuts lately, but never thought that would bother an ig!
I could take his diet down a bit further, but the poor guy isn't very excited unless he sees lotsa colors!
I just had another idea-- I've been buying collard greens in the bag from Publix instead of the farmer's market the last few weeks-- I wonder if he's reacting to some kind of residue on them like trace amounts of pesticide or something. This weekend I'll go back to the farmer's market collards to see if that makes a difference.
thanks for your ideas...
it would be great if somebody did extensive research on this subject (it's a strange phenomenon)
