| WORK IN PROGRESS. FOR FULL LIST, SEE LINK BELOW.Credit to Whispers: http://www.forgottenpurrs.net/t318-advanced-sicknesses.For any people wanting to challenge themselves more in roleplay, here is a list of more ailments than in our other list of more basic herbs and illnesses. Recommended for experienced roleplayers only. - Aches/Pains: This is also very common. This tends to happen if a cat pushed his/her self too hard in training/hunting/fighting. It can also happen in elders when they simply tend to ache - or a day after a big battle.
Symptoms: Sore, stiff, and reluctant to move or do anything. Best Treatment: Give them some poppy seeds and order them a day of bed rest(if the pain is bad enough).
- Aching Joints: Very common in Clan elders. Humans call this arthritis. It is caused by cold weather, damp nests, and old bones.
Symptoms: Joints in the body become stiff and sore. Swelling/inflammation can happen. Best Treatment: Burdock root and daisy leaves; nettle leaves and goldenrod
- Sores: 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.
Symptoms: Skin is red and raw, cat in pain and stiff. Best Treatment: Simply give them poppy seeds and rub the tender area with chewed comfrey.
- Thorns: This is also common. A cat will have anywhere to a single thorn to more then one stuck in the skin. This very painful!
Symptoms: Thorn in pad, limping Best Treatment: Pull the thorn(s) out immediately!Then treat the wound.
- Toothache: Toothaches happen when there is a loose tooth, cavity, or gum disease. This best to be treated as quickly as possible.
Symptoms: Loose tooth/teeth, hole in teeth/tooth, or inflammation of the gums. Pain is present. Best Treatment: For cavities it is best they are pulled out while cat is restraint, other two you can just give alder bark/tansy/broom.
- Torn Claw: In this case the carotene (the part of the claw that contains blood vessels) of the claw has been broken or caught on something. This is very common. Given a few days time this will heal quickly on its own.
Symptoms: Broken layers of carotene, limping, swelling, pain, some bleeding. Best Treatment: Marigold, poppy seeds and cobwebs.
- Tummy Ache: This is very common . . . most of all in kittens.This can happen if a cat has eaten too much or ate something unpleasant. This can also be a symptom for more serious illnesses too, so double check the facts.
Symptoms: Aching/Cramping pains in the stomach. Best Treatment: Watermint & Chervil Root, Juniper Berries & Poppy seeds.
