Herb Care
Gather some fox dung and place it near and around patches of herbs to keep rabbits and any other animals away from the plant
Soak wilted leaves in water. Make sure to be very gentle when taking them out so that they don’t fall apart. Only use this as a last resort
Make sure to clear the plant from any bug infestations
If an herb is wet, take it out of the den and lay it on a flat rock in a sunny area to dry (except for bark)
Gather fresh herbs when stock gets low
Leave enough of the herb on its plant when you collect so it can reproduce
Check your stock often and throw out any herbs that are old or have lost any of its healing qualities
Herbs are best to collect at sunhigh, as the dew will have evaporated and it won't rot
Seeds are best to collect when they have freshly fallen off its plant
If an herbs roots have any holes, don't bother taking it back to your stock
Herb flowers that have lush appearances and scent are best to collect
Once an herbs flower petals start to wilt or fall off, it would be best to throw it away
Bark is ideal to collect in new-leaf
Bark is best used fresh
Dry the bark only in shady, crisp, dry areas
Bark is not to be stored in moist areas
Dig holes in the ground and place your herbs there and cover them with fern fronds to keep them fresh
Even if your juniper berries are shriveled up, it's best to keep them in your stock until you collect fresh berries, as they are very valuable
Though an herbs leaves and flowers are dead during leaf-bare, berries, bark, and broom are still able to be collected
Stock up on specific herbs before leaf-bare!
It's smart to make your poultices, pulps, pastes, ointments and extracts beforehand, but throw them away if they aren't used 4-5 days afterward
An herbs root should be firm, not too soft nor too hard. Soft roots are very old and have lost their healing qualities, while hard roots are not ripe enough
If one of your herb plants seem to be growing a lot slower than normal, take a leaf and put some water on it to water the plant. Herbs that grow in sand will need to be watered more frequently than others that don't
Take off dead stems of last seasons growth on mint, rosemary, and tansy. By taking the dead stems off it encourages a more compact herb and is much stronger
As taking off dead stems, make sure to get rid of any weeds that take over the herbs
Keep your den in order, to do this, divide your herbs in categories, either from putting all herbs that help sickness into their own space, and putting herbs that help anxiety and stress in their own pile. Or you can go by which specific use they have. Make sure that they are in a loose pile
Only collect an herbs leaf if it is green, fresh, and is filled with its healing properties. Do not collect an herbs leaf if it is brown, crunchy, or has holes (Oak leaves may have an exception, though)
Poultice- A poultice is a soft, moist material that is applied to a part of the cats body to relieve pain, itching, swelling, etc
Aching joints poultice- Gather ragwort and juniper berries and crush the ragwort leaves into small bits, and smash the juniper onto the crushed ragwort. Chew and mix the herbs together until it forms a tight bond and then give to the patient. The patient should only chew on the poultice. It's okay to swallow a little, but eating the whole thing can cause a stomachache
Poultice for wounds- Gather horsetail, goldenrod, and marigold. Place the three herbs on top of each other and chew on it until it has almost a paste like texture. Before applying, make sure to get a wet moss ball and dab it lightly on the wound and around it to clean out dirt and debris. Place your poultice onto wherever the cat hurts. Grab some cobweb and wrap it around the poultice and add a few catchweed burrs on top of it and on the edges
Irritated/Itchy skin- Get a comfrey root and chew into a thick poultice and apply where ever the cat is irritated
Poultice for swelling- Have your patient wade through some water, then gather some stinging nettle leaves and chew into a poultice, and place wherever the cat hurts. Give them a couple of poppy seeds if needed
Wrenched claw poultice- Make sure to lick the patients claw thoroughly before applying the poultice to get out any kind of dirt, debris, and dried blood. Get a comfrey root and chew into a small poultice and apply to the wrenched claw. Wrap some cobweb around the poultice and add a catchweed burr on top if needed
Infected wounds poultice- Crush some marigold petals and chew them thoroughly. Get some honey and smother it on the marigold poultice. Make sure to clean the patients wound with a damp piece of moss to get all dirt and debris out. Place the marigold poultice over the desired area, the honey facing the wound. Place some catchweed burrs on the edges of the poultice
Thorn in paw pad poultice- Make sure to clean the cats paw pad thoroughly before adding the poultice. Chew on some yarrow to form a poultice and apply it to the paw pad. Let the yarrow sit on the paw pad for a few hours, then take the poultice off. The poultice should make the paw pad a lot softer, and the thorn will have disappeared.
Broken leg/paw poultice- First, trace your tail over your patients body to check for any damage, and poke your claw onto the area. If they feel any pain it is broken, or if you feel a crack. Feed them poppy seeds to help soothe the pain, and give them juniper berries or thyme if they are in shock. Gather stinging nettle, comfrey root, and bindweed. Chew on the stinging nettle and comfrey together into almost a paste like consistency. Plaster the poultice onto the broken bone, and wrap the bindweed around the poultice, and prop up some sticks under the leg, and bundle more bindweed around the sticks. Wrap a thick layer of cobweb around the area and add a few catchweed burrs on the edges of the cast when done.
Chills poultice- Tear up some lavender, catmint and feverfew and chew it up thoroughly and then patch it up together to form it into a poultice. Put it onto wherever the chill is worst, and lick their fur the wrong way to warm them up. Put a catchweed burr on top of the poultice to hold it in place. Recommended to give them juniper berries
Backache poultice- Gather some daisy leaves and chew it into a mush. Add a tiny bit of water, then keep chewing. Once it's formed, place it onto wherever the pain is worst
Pulp- A pulp is a wet, soft, shapeless mass that is to be eaten or plastered onto a cats body
Greencough pulp- Crush marigold petals and knead them into a couple of juniper berries then add the herbs into some water and mix. Once done sprinkle some poppy seeds over the pulp and feed to the patient
Heavy breathing pulp- Shred some coltsfoot, thyme, and catmint. Once they're into little pieces, chew them up until they are in a fine mush, then put them into a small amount of water, and stir. Feed to your patient
Bee stings pulp- Give your patient some chamomile to let them calm down and then gently take the stinger out with your teeth. Grab some moss and soak it in water and cleanse the area. Chew some blackberry leaves into a mush and add them to water and stir. Once the leaves seem to be gooey enough, take it out and place over the desired area and wrap cobwebs around the pulp. If the sting is really bad, then get some dandelion and squeeze its juices onto a clump of moss and dab around the area. Your patient may also chew on the dandelion to soothe the pain. Add a couple catchweed burrs on the edge of the cobweb to help stick in place
Kitten-cough pulp- Chew on some coltsfoot and then mix it with some water, then feed to the patient. Give them some cold water as well
Mild flea bites- Gather some marigold and crush the petals until they are in very small pieces, then line some water onto them. Stir the damp herb while kneading into it, until the petals turn into a fine mush. Once you are done kneading, chew on the mush until it is formed into a soft, wet pulp. Rub the pulp onto the cats pelt. Also recommended to place preventative herbs in the cats bedding, and keep them in your den until the fleas are gone. Make a comfrey poultice if they can't handle the itching
Pulp for fevers- Chew on some dandelion, and chew on a couple of borage leaves. Mix the two herbs together and add a little bit of water to the mixture. Feed to your patient
Paste- A paste is a thick, soft, moist substance, that is to be put on the body, or consumed
Paste for burns- Chew on a comfrey root until it is formed into a thick mush, almost like a pulp, but a more solid form. Put the comfrey in some water and stir it, and make sure it is a thick, moist consistency. Plaster the paste over wherever the cat hurts
Paste for anxiety, shock, distress, etc- Scratch up some chamomile until it's in small pieces. Chew it up into a thick paste, then place it into a small amount of water, and mix it around. Afterward, roll it into a ball and feed to your patient. Lick the cats fur the wrong way to help calm them down quicker
______________________________________________
Ointments
Ointment- A smooth oily preparation that is to be rubbed on the skin
Sores ointment- Chew on a comfrey root and make it into almost a paste like consistency. Put the paste into a leaf that has warm water, and mix it around for a little while. Once done, pour the extract onto a dock leaf and let it sit in a cool area for a bit. The extract should've thickened into an ointment. Rub the comfrey ointment onto the desired area
Cracked paw pads ointment- Lick to clean the patients pads thoroughly to make sure that all dirt and debris is out. Place the cats paw in water if needed. Gather some yarrow and chew on it until it is formed into a thick paste. Put the paste into some warm water and stir it. Once done, place the extract onto a dock leaf and let it sit in a cool area for a while. Once you've come back the extract should've thickened and has been established into a more solid form. Rub the ointment over the paw pads and wrap with cobweb
______________________________________________
Juices
Juice- This is to be made with herb extracts and is to be drunk or drizzled on
Pain extract- Find a willow tree and tear at its bark. This will help release the water that is inside of it. Add the willow bark water onto a leaf. Take some thyme and tear it up into small pieces. Once the thyme is crushed add it to the willow bark water and then sprinkle some poppy seeds over the extract and mix a little more and feed to the patient. Make a poultice for swelling if needed
Eye damage extract- Check the cats eye to make sure that there isn't any damage to the surface of the iris. Make sure to flush the patients eyes out thoroughly before proceeding. Get some celandine and squeeze its juices onto a ball of moss. Dab the moss onto the patients eye, then close their eye for a few seconds to make sure the extract seeps into their eye
______________________________________________
Injuries and Illnesses
Chest infections- Whitecough and greencough are the most common chest infections known to the Clans. Whitecough is almost like greencough, but a milder version. If untreated, it will develop into greencough. Cats usually catch this sickness during leaf-fall and leaf-bare. It is fatal for elders and kits if not treated immediately. It is highly contagious
Redcough- Redcough is a highly severe chest infection and is worse than greencough. It is named after one of its symptom which is to cough up blood. If not treated immediately then the cat will most likely die. Catmint cannot treat redcough and the only known cure is a special sap that is only found in SkyClan territory
Aching joints- Damp and or cold environments cause aching joints. This is commonly seen in elders and Queens. If the ache is associated with water it can cause a chill
Chills- Chills are mostly associated with cold weather or being in cold water. Elders and kits are at more of a risk dying when they get a chill. Either lick the cats fur the wrong way to keep them warm, or make a poultice
Poison- Being poisoned can be caused by eating or drinking unsafe substances such as deathberries. Kits are the main victim of this, as they are curious and are unaware of how dangerous they are. Eating rotten prey or tainted water is also another common way to be poisoned. Inhaling too much smoke, and being bitten by a venomous animal. If only a small amount of poison is consumed, then the cat usually just gets a stomachache, but obviously larger amounts will cause death
Joint dislocation- This is a displacement of a bone from its normal joint. Medicine cats must force the joint back into place
Sprains- Sprains are injuries to ligaments of a joint, and the joint is stretched beyond their normal capacity and is possibly torn. Sprains are caused when too much force is placed on the muscle. The pain will vary from mild to severe and will decrease the ability to move the joint. The cat must rest for several days
Cracked pads- Paw pads may crack when walking long distances on hard surfaces, such as stone, or due to cold weather. Elders commonly get this.
Sores- This is caused by rough activity, and the skin will become red and raw
Sore throat- A condition with pain in the throat, typically caused by inflammation due to cold weather, smoke inhalation, or a cough
Damaged eyes- The patients eyes will be blurry to some extent, and it depends on how severe the blurriness is. The harsher the symptoms are, the less of a chance that the cat will recover with full vision. Cats with damage on the surface of the iris will not regain vision
Loss of appetite- This is a disappearance of the cats hankering to eat. This can either be caused by stress, or something more serious
Kitten-cough- A very mild version of a chest infection. Does have chances in turning into whitecough, and then greencough
Disease- This can be caused by eating prey that is found in Carrionplace, such as rats. Certain types of viruses, bacteria, and parasites is how the disease is transmitted
Weakness- A decrease of one or more muscles in the body, meaning that the patient will lack strength. The weakness only affects muscles that are irritated or a compressed nerve. This can either be caused by stress, illness, wounds, tiredness, or from too much physical activity
Snake bite- An injury caused by an adder or other types of snakes. Depending on the species of the snake, the victim may or may not end up being infected with venom
Burns- A burn is a damage to the skin or deeper tissues caused by flame, staying out too long in the sun, or any other physical contact with heat. Severity of the injury depends on the depth of the burn. The victim may or may not end up having their fur grow back
Fleas- Fleas are small, wingless insects that cling onto furry animals to suck their blood. This causes irritation and can create very small wounds, which could develop into an infection, and then possibly a disease. Some cats are even allergic to fleas. Fleas are highly contagious. The legs, paws and neck are targeted the most
Nausea- This is when a cat feels exceedingly ill and an extreme urge to vomit. There are multiple things that can cause nausea, such as overeating, hunger, specific herbs, food poisoning, tainted water, intense fear/panic attacks, early pregnancy, migraines/headaches, and revolting smells. If a cat vomits, which is followed by diarrhea, it can cause dangerous dehydration; bring your patient to a water source immediately after they vomit
Allergies- Allergies can make an appearance when the cat has a negative reaction to a particular type of herb, prey, pollen, fur or dust. This can cause the cats skin to inflame, and have itchy, watery eyes. The reaction can range from mild to severe. In some severe cases, the allergies can cause life-threatening reactions
Anxiety/Panic attack- Anxiety can be caused by stress conditions, uncomfortable crowds, or upsetting situations. A panic attack is a sudden, unexpected intense fear that causes severe physical reactions when there is no actual danger or cause. It is important that the medicine cat figures out what the triggers are of the anxiety, and make sure to help the patient provoke the causes
Asthma- A cat is commonly born with this condition, which causes their airways to become inflamed, narrowed, and swelled. It will also produce mucus which makes it difficult to breathe. It can be stimulated when a cat is running, or a very rough physical activity. There is no real cure in the Clan world
Broken tooth- Teeth are prone to cracking and able to fully break off the root. This can be caused by the mouth hitting a hard object, cavities, biting a hard object, such as a bone from prey or from a battle. In mild cases, the tooth will be chipped but still in the gums. Moderate cases will have a piece of the tooth broken off but still intact. In severe cases, the tooth is completely shattered, which will leave nothing where the tooth used to be
Broken bones- This is when the bone of a certain part of the body is shattered in two or more pieces. The result can range from mild to severe. A mild fracture is when the bone is broken in one place, which has no separation of the bones. A moderate fracture involves the bone being broken into two pieces. A severe fracture is when the bone is shattered into two or more pieces or completely crushed, and when this happens the patient will most likely never be healed
Shock (Physically)- Shock can occur and be a life-threatening result due to blood loss and or highly severe pain. It can also cause heavy breathing, which will have the patient faint, or can even be fatal. It is mandatory to take immediate treatment when this happens
Shock (Emotionally)- Sometimes happens when a cat witnesses a traumatic or terrorizing event. They will seem to have "numb" emotions

Listen to your patients complaint
Examine the physical state of your patient
Remember the patients symptoms and complaints
Analyze which symptoms are the most noticeable
Ask your patient on other suspected complaints
Determine a course of treatment for the complaints that stand out the most
Follow-up with your patient after the treatment to guarantee that the treatment is a success
Adjust treatment methods if necessary
______________________________________________
Remedies
Fever-Have the patient eat borage leaves and have them sniff lavender. Make sure to have wet moss nearby at all times, and if needed apply the wet moss on their forehead to keep them cool
Stomachache- Eat juniper berries, and rub their stomach if needed. Give them wet moss, but don't give them too much water as it will make it worse. And don't give them warm or hot water, either. If they are hungry only allow them to eat small morsels such as mice
Sore throat- Have the cat eat a honeycomb, or paint on some honey to a dock leaf and let them lick it off. Recommended to give them a small dose of tansy. Have them consume warm water as well
Headache- Have your patient drink plenty of cold water, and give them some feverfew to eat. Have them stay out of sunlight. It'd be best to keep them in your den until they're better
Stress- Have your patient eat some chamomile and drink water. Give some juniper berries if needed
Trouble breathing- Mix some coltsfoot, thyme, and catmint together, and feed to your patient
Upset stomach by poison- Treat painful stomachaches with stinging nettle or yarrow; allow your patient to vomit onto a dock leaf. Since vomiting causes dehydration, immediately bring your patient to a water source. Mild stomachaches can be treated with juniper or watermint, but give them a small dose of willow leaves, just to be on the safe side
Leg dislocation- Feed your patient an appropriate amount of poppy seeds and wait for them to fall asleep. Then, grab their leg in your jaw and have another cat keep them down in place so you have more control. Tug on the leg until you hear a tiny click. Give them a couple more poppy seeds after they wake up in case they are in pain
Loss of appetite- Encourage your patient to eat small amounts of prey. Stubborn or very ill cats can be offered the blood of fresh prey. Recommended to feed them sorrel
Non-venomous snake bite- Clean the wound thoroughly with a damp moss ball, and, if needed, put the wound into water. Gather some horsetail and chew it into a paste. Put the horsetail paste into some warm water, and mix it around. Once it is all mixed, pour the extract onto a dock leaf and let it sit in a cool area. After a while the paste should have turned into an ointment. Plaster the ointment over the scratch, then chew on some burdock root and form it into a poultice. Put the poultice over the desired area, and feed your patient an appropriate amount of poppy seeds to dull the pain. The next day the patient should be back to normal and be put back on duty. Make sure to check up on them regularly to ensure that the wound is clean and free of infection
Venomous snake bite- Flush the wound thoroughly with water until you are certain that the wound is clean. Chew some yarrow into a pulp and feed to your patient to allow some poison to be removed. Leave the wound open and allow it to bleed for an appropriate amount of time. This will allow the excess toxins to flush out. Gather some tansy and more yarrow, and chew them both into a poultice. Apply the poultice to the poisoned area, and swathe with cobwebs, and add a catchweed burr on top. The patient should rest for a few days. During this time, the patient should be checked on regularly to make sure that no infections linger into the bite and to have water by them at all times. Once it is healed, they will be allowed to return to small tasks
First-degree burns/Sunburn- Apply some honey to the burned area and wrap a thick layer of cobweb around the honey, adding a catchweed burr to the ends of the cobweb. Feed them a honeycomb or honey painted onto a dock leaf if their throat hurts from the smoke
Second/Third-degree burns- Lick the victims fur as soon as they get away from the fire, especially the most damaged area. Immerse the damaged area in room temperature (not cold) water, or get a damp moss ball and lightly pat it onto the area. The patient will most likely be in shock or at least have anxiety, so feed them some juniper, and have them lay down in a flat, though comfortable position. Do not have them lay down if they have an airway burn. Gather some honey, marigold, and comfrey. Crush the marigold until it is in very small pieces and chew it into a thick poultice. Do the same with the comfrey, then put them together. Paint the honey over your poultice and put it over the desired area, honey facing the injury, and wrap a thick layer of cobweb around the poultice, adding some catchweed burrs to the ends of the cobweb. Have your patient consume cold water, and feed them an appropriate amount of poppy seeds. Feed your patient a honeycomb or paint some honey over a dock leaf and feed to your patient if their throat hurts from the smoke. Your patient must rest for several days, and you need to keep a close eye on them. Remake the same poultice every three days, and the cast must stay on at all times, which can take over a moon if it is severe enough. Don't break the blisters, and don't apply any types of ointments onto the burn as it will make it infected
Severe flea bites- Clean the patients pelt thoroughly with a wet ball of moss to clean and help get rid of the swollen areas. Next, put mouse bile onto a ball of moss and dab it over the affected areas. Make a small marigold pulp and rub it onto the cats pelt afterward; also recommended to rub mint on their pelt or put it in their nest. Keep them in your den until the fleas are gone
Dislocated shoulder- It is important to have your patient not move, not even an inch, as it can make the injury worse. Gather some cold, wet moss and apply it to the shoulder to knock down inflammation. Keep the wet moss on the shoulder until it feels numb. The pain from a dislocated shoulder is very intense, and a normal amount of poppy seeds wont do much, but it is recommended to feed them some to take the edge off and so they relax. Have one cat restrain the cats hind legs, so it’s easier for you to relocate the shoulder. Get your patient to lay on their back and have the injured arm move a little way from their body. Firmly grab your patients paw and slowly, but firmly, pull on the arm. Pull the arm at an angle. Do this until you hear a click. Afterwards, immediately get a ragwort and juniper poultice and slap it on the shoulder. Feed your patient another small amount of poppy seeds, and wrap a very thick layer of cobweb around the forearm, and put a catchweed burr on the edges of the cast. Prop the arm up with some sticks wrapped with bindweed. Make sure that the sticks aren’t too high. The patient needs to stay in their nest with no movement for a little over a moon. Have the cat return to very light duty after they have been rested
Nausea- Feed the patient some chamomile, and have them consume juniper or watermint. Have them drink cold water, and allow them to rest in their bed until they feel better. If the nausea is caused by hunger, then make sure to give them some prey. Give them feverfew if they have a fever and or headache. If the nausea is so intense then feed them some yarrow to vomit. It would also be best to try a trip to the dirt place
Mild broken tooth- Wash the cats mouth thoroughly to get rid of any blood or remains of the tooth that may be stuck in the gums. Give them an appropriate amount of poppy seeds, and allow them to rest for a day. The tooth sensitivity will last close to a quarter moon to half a moon (1-2 weeks). It is possible that the tooth will decay
Moderate broken tooth- Wash the cats mouth thoroughly to get rid of any blood or remains of the tooth that may be stuck in the gums. Feed them an appropriate amount of poppy seeds. If the broken tooth has a jagged edge, cover it with cobweb to prevent it from cutting the patients tongue, lip or cheek. Only allow them to eat soft prey, such as plump mice and fish, avoid biting down on the damaged tooth. Have the cat rest for a few days, until the worst of the pain fades. The tooth sensitivity will last for a little over half a moon (2-3 weeks). It is possible that the tooth will decay
Severe broken tooth- Wash the cats mouth thoroughly, especially the hole in which the tooth used to be. Dab a very small amount of cobweb in the hole to get rid of any excess blood and do this daily until the patient is better. Have them consume an appropriate amount of poppy seeds. Only allow them to eat soft prey, such as plump mice and fish. After eating make sure to dab a piece of cobweb in the hole to get rid of any prey residue. The cat must rest for several days. The tooth sensitivity will last for a moon (1 month). It is essential to give daily medical care even after the hole has healed to keep scraps of prey from being caught in the hole. It’s very likely that pain will recur even after the hole has healed. There is a high possibility that it will cause infection to the gums
Mild broken bone- Trace your tail over the patients body to check for any damage, and poke your claw onto the damaged area. If they feel any pain it is broken, or if you feel a crack. Feed your patient an appropriate amount of poppy seeds to dull the pain. Feed them juniper or thyme if they are in shock. Create a broken bone poultice and apply it to the desired area and wrap the cast with a thick layer of cobweb. Keep the leg elevated with sticks, if possible. Keep the cat from walking for a moon. Once they start to heal, have them do small, supervised exercises, such as short walks and stretches. If it is an apprentice who has broken their bone, it can take a little over half a moon (2-3 weeks). A full-grown warriors fracture may take a little over a moon, and for an elder it can take up to two moons
Head bump- Have the patient eat some poppy seeds to dull the pain and allow them to rest for a little while. If the patient has a headache from the injury, feed them some feverfew. The knot should disappear within 2-3 days
Venom in the eyes- Gather a wet moss ball and thoroughly clean the patients eye out. Recommended to flush it out with running water. Chew on some fennel stalks to release the juice that is inside of it and put it onto a clean moss ball and dab it onto the cats eye. Feed them some juniper and poppy seeds afterward. You will have to keep a very close eye on the cat even after you have treated them. There is a very strong chance that the victim will die or become blind
Backache- Give your patient a small dose of tansy and chew some daisy leaves into a poultice and apply it to wherever the pain is worst. Have your patient rest all day. If the pain is mild they will recover within the next two days, but give them another dose of tansy and remake the poultice. If it is moderate, they will be better within 3-4 days. If it is severe it can take a little over a quarter moon (1-2 weeks). If the backache is due to being an elder, their pain may never go away and you will have to treat them whenever they feel worst. Recommended to give them a small amount of poppy seeds to dull the pain. Have them wade in water if possible.

Remedies without herbs and other techniques
Nip or poke your claw- Gently poke your claw on a cats bone to test to see if it's broken or not. If they feel pain, or if you feel a crack, then it's broken
Lick their fur- It cleans wounds, brings down anxiety/shock, and warms a cold cat. Lick the fur the wrong way to keep them warm
Moss soaked in water- For sick or injured cats. May also be used to cool patients with fevers. Also helpful with kitting
Sweeten herbs- Use nectar, honey, mint, rosemary or mouse blood to sweeten up bitter herbs
Water soaking- Hold swelling wound in water. This will also help soothe scraped paw pads
Water therapy- Have a cat with weak or sore muscles to wade in water. Eventually, they'll feel better
Wailing/Yowling- Don't do this if your patient has a sore throat. By wailing, it will keep the cats lungs and chest clear. Recommended if the cat has a cough
Thorn in paw pad- Lick the area around the thorn to loosen it, then grasp it with your teeth and pull. Don't pull it upwards, but at an angle instead, as it will cause less pain and make it slightly easier to remove
Sand/seeds in cats eye- Gently hold the eyelid open with one paw. With the other, get a piece of damp moss and dab it onto the patients eye
Sick cats- Cats who are ill may have a hard time keeping food down. Cats who cannot keep their meals down should not be fed. They should be carefully monitored for signs of malnutrition and dehydration. Ill cats who can eat should only be given small morsels, such as mice, voles, and birds, the bird needs to be carefully defeathered. Small pieces are the key to successful eating. Do not let sick cats over eat, as it will make them sicker
Wounds- Put leaf mulch inside large wounds. Put a little on scrapes. Only use this as a last resort
Dislocated tail- Curl your paw around the cats tail, close to the tip. Rest your other paw on the base of the patients spine. Have another cat hold the patient down in front. Twist the tail and keep pressure on it until you feel a tiny click
Determining a fever- Put your nose to a cats paw to test to see if they have a fever. If the paw is warm, then that means they have a fever. If you're having trouble validating that they are sick, get a healthy cat and test to see the difference
Flea bites- Resist the urge to scratch, and apply a cold, damp moss ball onto the bites several times a day to prevent swelling
Coughs- Keep your patient hydrated. If possible, have them wade in warm water. If the illness is severe, have them stay in your den, but make sure to keep them far away from where you keep your herbs, as the herb scents can cause headaches, and could make the cough even worse. It is also recommended to keep them in a very quiet place
Anxiety- Give your patient a simple exercise to distract them, have them breathe slowly and gently through their nose, lick their fur, try to make them laugh, eat well-balanced meals, and to get enough sleep. Give them a checklist such as, is there a reason to believe something is wrong? Is it possible that it will happen? Have them tell themselves that they are okay and that their anxiety won't let them control their life
Severe stomachache/Vomiting- Grass isn't necessarily digestible for cats, so it will cause them to puke it right back up. This should make your patient feel better afterward
Kitting- Lick a kit the wrong way as soon as you nip the kitting sac off to ensure that the kit begins to breathe and to keep it warm
______________________________________________
Kitting
A queens pregnancy will last a little over two moons. Queens will need to eat healthy foods. She will need to drink plenty of water and get lots of rest. It is a good idea to put dried leaves and feathers around her nest to make it comfortable for her and her kits. When she is about to give birth, the den should not be crowded and at the very least empty except for the medicine cat and other cats that she may want at her side when she gives birth. Give her some raspberry leaves before the kitting starts so it won't be as painful and chew a comfrey root into a pulp and feed it to her. Fennel is also recommended. Get a stick and put it in front of her so she can chew on it. Make sure that she has wet moss near her and possibly a small piece of fresh-kill. Once a kit has been born, immediately nip the kitting sac with your teeth to release it. Lick the kit the wrong way as soon as possible once the sac is off. Once the kit is warm and dry, place it in front of the queens stomach. Feed her a borage leaf to help the milk come quicker. It is not recommended to give her poppy seeds, as she could become too sleepy to push. It is not recommended to give a pregnant cat more than 3-4 herbs during kitting. Some herbs and herb combinations will cause them to bleed more or prolong the kitting. Choose which herbs you give to a kitting queen wisely, or give none if it is truly unnecessary. If the queen is not in the Clans camp by the time she has to give birth, make sure that there are a couple of “guard” cats surrounding her. The scent of blood will attract foxes and badgers
______________________________________________
Omens
Omens- Either a dream or sign given by StarClan that shows prophetic significance of the future to warn about upcoming events. The difference between omens and prophecies is that an omen can be shown to any rank in a Clan, not just the medicine cat.
Full moon gathering- Every Clan cat knows that when a cloud covers the moon it means that something should not be done, or is a warning sign. It is only a response to those actions taken at the gathering. It is StarClans way of saying that the gathering is over. It is a very severe omen, but it is rare. Though in truth, it doesn't actually mean that StarClan is unhappy with a decision, but it does mean that things are darker than they appear
______________________________________________
Interpreting dreams
This is a very important part of a medicine cats life, which a lot of lists seem to leave out. Every medicine cat has a different way of analyzing their dream, so do it in a way that helps you out more easily
Record your dreams- Take notes, even a few sentences will help your analyzation
Identify how you were feeling in the dream- Suggest to yourself "Was I nervous, angry, confused, etc? Do I still feel those feelings the morning after? How comfortable am I feeling these emotions?"
Analyze your dreams that are in daily life- If you dreamt about a newly made apprentice catching a very specific piece of prey (i.g a magpie with no tail) and if a newly made apprentice came back from their hunt with a magpie without tail, then this is something that must be thought out
Discern recurring thoughts in your dreams in daily life- Let's say that you are having recurring thoughts such as: “They are going to outcast me” Or “I can’t do this” Next you need to ask yourself if you were having these thoughts constantly in the dream. And if so, in what situations did you have these thoughts?
