As the title clearly indicates, this is a guide to being a medicine cat. ;3
Here you will find the various herbs to use in various situations, but also the medicine cat code.
Enjoy! :3
NOTE: This is a WIP!
|| Problems, Symtomes and Treatments ||
—Sores / Pains—
Similar to a bruise. The skin has become raw due to rough activity. It is not a serious injury, but it is best to get it treated quickly as not to furtherely hurt the cat.
Symptoms: Skin is red and raw, the cat is in pain and stiff.
Best Treatment: Simply give them poppy seeds and rub the tender area with chewed up comfrey.
—Tummy ache—
This can happen if a cat has eaten too much or has eaten something unpleasant. This can also be a symptom for more serious illnesses too, so double check the symptoms.
Symptoms: Aching/Cramping pains in the stomach.
Best Treatment: Watermint & Chervil Root / Juniper Berries & Poppy seeds.
—Thorns—
This is very common. A cat can have anywhere up to a single thorn to more then one stuck in the skin. This is very painful!
Best Treatment: Pull the thorn(s) out immediately! Then treat the wound. See 'wounds'.
—Cuts—
Again, very common. This mostly happens when kits play too hard or an apprentice/warrior trying too hard as well. It can happen in battle, also.
Best Treatment: Simply use marigold or garlic after rubbing it down with a dock leaf. Cover with cobwebs.
—Swelling—
This often happens with all times of injuries, bruises, and infections.
Symptoms: Inflammation & pain.
Best Treatment: Chewed alder bark & goldenrod(juice), nettle leaves & poppy seeds.
—Headache / Fever—
In this case the cat is ill or suffering from an infection or dehydrated. They will feel hot and their head will hurt.
Symptoms:
*Headache; pain in the head and behind or around eyes.
*Fever; Sweating, hot, maybe dizzy.
Best Treatment: Drink plenty of water, nettle leaves & poppy seeds / borage leaves & willow bark.
