It's not just any proteins, it's the by product of viri breaking down. It's not the result of inflammation, viral infections are not always associated with inflammation. So your first paragraph is bunk.

It's not "some sort of bacteria or virus" it's a very specific retrovirus pathogen! It's diagnosed with a necropsy, not by symptoms, those do not give a definitive diagnosis. They find the IBD retrovirus in the post mortum exam. They confirm it with the microscope. Talk to any good herp vet.
