The little griped complaint netted an almost chuckle from the grumpy cat as he slowly shook his head.
"At least you know what they do, when I was first named medicine cat apprentice I didnt even know what they did. I was only vaguely aware it made cats sleepy anything else was a surprise. Also I may have dumped most of mine on your store, we had a huge store at riverclan for some reason. We didnt need it and with your amount of injured cats that might help." Coldamber, he really wanted at least some of these herbs to go to help the molly that didnt even remember him anymore.
With a nod of acceptance at her caving (he knew that was reluctance, though why he didnt know) he padded over to the herb store nabbing the herbs he aimed to teach in this session. The tom owed this lesson to windclan for all Peachfrosts predecessor did for him, he could cope with some annoyance for now. He couldnt teach everything in what time he had but the essentials he could do.
"Right you now know poppyseeds and the recommended doses now but that plus these these will be your stables for basically everything. Marigold, chew this into a salve and apply it to open wounds and it'll prevent infections, it can get rid of some infections too but generally the strong or established ones cant be taken care of with just marigold. You''d find it in sunny patches in a small bush. It also helps to clean wounds first dirt wounds inevitably mean infections, and then after wrap with cobwebs, thats another protective layer.
Next catmint, this sweet smelling leaf heals greencough and whitecough one of the most deadly illnesses a cat can face. Give one at a time and generally two doses of this during the course of the illness and the cat should be fine unless theyre weak. Find it in sheltered sunny areas near water.
I dont really know what injuries and illnesses are common so I dont know what other herb you might want to know to deal with that... Any issues youre facing or have seen in your life that you want to know about? Ill try and teach you more on a brief herb patrol before I go but theres only so much I can do at this time."
Crossed wires or confusion over a herb could kill a cat. Snakeheart refused to risk confusing Peachfrost here.
