Here are the symptoms with the remedies that cats in the wild will get.

********

❉ Aching Joints ❉
Very common in the elders of a clan/tribe.This most commonly known as Arthritis. It is caused by cold weather, damp nests, and plain old being elderly.
Symptoms: Joints in the
body become stiff and sore. Swelling/inflammation can happen.
Best Treatment: Burdock root & daisy leaves, nettle leaves & goldenrod.

❉ 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.
Symptoms: broken layers of carotene, victim limping, swelling, pain, some bleeding.
Best Treatment: Marigold, poppy seeds, and cobwebs

❉ Sores ❉
Similar to a bruise. The skin has become raw due to rough activity. It is not a serious illness/injury, but it is best to get it treated.
Symptoms: Skin is red and raw, cat's in pain and stiff.
Best Treatment: Simply give them poppy seeds and rub the tender area with chewed up comfrey

❉ 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.

❉ 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

❉ 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.

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).

trying too hard as well. It can happen in battle, also.
