Hi Lori! It is difficult to figure out but both times, he had fruit/feeders gut-loaded with fruit right before the reaction occurred so its the only explanation I can come up with for the reactions.... I know he has other things going on, but if I keep fruit out of his diet then hopefully the other problems he has can have time to heal.
I dont think I mentioned why I was needing the syrup. Tracie found some natural products that help the immune system and white cell production so I am not making Kazi an elixir from these things - I feel like an old-fashioned pharmacist, mixing up a herbal potion lol! He gets spirulina, green tea extract and vitamin b mixed with water to make a suspension. It is all dosed out according to his weight and the actual strength of each of the products (THANK YOU TRACIE!) and im hoping it helps inprove those levels over the next few weeks, so that his next blood test will be much better! However, the green tea extract isnt really mixing very well so Tracie suggested corn/karo syrup to help suspend it - of course it has to be unavailable over here - I have one more store to try so im hoping they have something along those lines.
EDIT - to add a Kazi update! Today, he got up on his little log to bask!!!! It wasn't under the heat light so I had to move it over a little but this is the first time that he has got up there in the morning!!!!! Now, to get him his lunch!!!!
