Chest Infections
Whitecough and greencough are the most common chest infections known to the Tribe Angels. Whitecough is the milder form, but if untreated, it can develop in the much more severe greencough. Wolves usually catch it during Fall and Winter, and sometimes it develops into large-scale epidemics. It can be fatal for elders and pups, and it has claimed the lives of several wolves.
Shamans and Healers treat it using Briarthorn. If fevers accompany the cough, Silverleaf is used as well.
Poisoning
Poisoning is the ingestion of a substance that causes harm to the body, such as:
Eating or drinking poisonous substances or plants such as deathberries. Usually pups do this, being curious and unaware of the danger Eating poisoned or rotten prey or drinking tainted water Inhaling too much smoke from a fire Being bitten by a venomous animal
If only a small quantity of poison is ingested, the wolf mostly receives a bellyache, but larger amounts can cause the death of the cat. Shamans and Healters treat it with Bloodthistle while mild bellyaches are treated with Bruiseweed or Goldclover.
Rat-Borne Infections
The wolves sometimes fall victims to infections carried by rats, although they do not have a specific name for it. Felweed is used to stop infection from rat bites.
