<< Possible explanation for this (hypothesis on my part)

 If she has rusty milk on one side, suggesting "rusty pipes" and this milk is
 tinged w/ blood, the other side w/ greenish black milk could be this color
 from the breakdown of hemoglobin.
 When blood breaks down, the hemoglobin molecule (a fragile one) decomposes
and
 the color becomes greenish black.

 Just an idea.....

Marge,
        This sounds plausible as the reason, but what would cause something like
this? Damage from prolonged engorgement? Liver function problems? Just
wondering...
