- List of Illnesses -

Blackcough - A horrible but rare disease that can come from nowhere.  There is no known cure, only ways to help cope with it, and it almost always results in death.  It is unlike Whitecough or Greencough and does not come from those illnesses.  It begins with chills and a cough with a lack of appetite.  Weakness, dizziness, and nausea then ensue along with a worsening cough that results in blackish blood being hacked up.  Wheezing and difficulty breathing are the worst part and normally are what kills the ill.  It is believed that blood that is coughed up can cause Blackcough in any that touch it.

Cloudmouth - Rabies.  Cloudmouth is very contagious, spread from the mere bite, scratch, or saliva contact of someone infected.  Depending on what stage the infected animal is at when they come in contact with the victim, Cloudmouth can have no symptoms until two weeks to a year after the contamination.  Characteristics of this disease include a distinct fear of water, inability to swallow, sleep, drink, or eat, mania, foaming at the mouth (to which the disease is named), paranoia, rage, and, three days to a week after symptoms show, always results in death.  There is no known treatment.  Infected cats should be either heavily sedated and sadly left to die outside of clan territory or, if cleared by the leader, fed deathberries (yew berries) for the safety of the rest of the clan.  Those suspected to be infected that still have their sanity should always be asked if they want the latter option.

Greencough - A severe respiratory infection.  Highly contagious.    Is characterized by a running nose and eyes, chest pain, slight trouble breathing, a wet and loud cough that produces greenish mucous, and tiredness, as well as, occasionally, a bad fever.  Can lead to death if not treated quickly enough.

Kitcough - A mild respiratory infection that uncommonly afflicts young kits.  Usually happens to kits that had a difficult birth or did not start breathing right away.  Identified by a harsh cough that weakens the kit.  Usually harmless but very persistent and can lead to weak lungs.

Shock (Emotional) - Can sometimes happen when great trauma has just occurred to an individual.  Characterized by a lack of emotion or empathy, denial, ceasing to communicate, and rocking back and forth.  Treat with poppy seeds, comfort, and, in extreme cases, valerian.

Shock (Physical) - Occurs due to blood loss and/or extreme pain.  Characterized by chills, numbness, rapid heartbeat, and weakness.  Is life-threatening if left for too long.  Treat by giving water, honey, and small quantities of dry yarrow.  Cover and treat any bleeding wounds or broken bones.

Smoke Inhalation - Is caused by breathing in smoke.  Severity is determined based on the amount of coughing, if wheezing and nausea are present, and listening to the victim's chest.

Whitecough - A mild respiratory infection.  Characterized by a running nose and eyes and a lasting slight cough.  If left untreated, it can turn into Greencough.
