<p style="text-align:center;">Bloodcough

<p style="text-align:center;">Extremely painful and contagious illness. At first it looks like a Running Nose, but over time a wolf gets weaker to where they are barely able to stand. After a few days of this a wolf will go through intense and random spasms. At this point a wolf cannot stop coughing and sneezing, and it becomes contagious. After this, a wolf starts coughing up blood, and by this point, is unsavable.

<p style="text-align:center;">Symptoms: Running nose, build up of “gunk” in the eyes, severe coughing and hacking, coughing up blood.

<p style="text-align:center;">Treatment: The treatment must be applied before the coughing starts, or the wolf is no longer savable. The only cure is the Death’sBane Serum, made by one DeathBerry, Waterfall Flower petals, and RainFire Flower stem and leaves. Mashed together by the paws and quickly washed off with water, not the tongue. (Note: This should not be taken by anyone except those suffering the BloodCough, or it is poisonous.)

<p style="text-align:center;">Spreading: Once a wolf is diagnosed with the BloodCough they should not come into contact with any other wolf. Once the blood coughing begins a wolf should be left alone to die, unless the whole pack wants to get it. Wolves should avoid the area where the infected wolf died for as long as possible without ruining the pack’s ability to hunt and survive.

<p style="text-align:center;">BloodRage (Rabies)

<p style="text-align:center;">An incurable but rare disease. When a wolf gets this disease he goes insane after around a week and attempts to kill anything near them. No reason or emotion, only killing instinct. The diseased wolf will foam at the mouth a couple days before this happens and suffer from extreme thirst. The wolf should be left to die, or killed once these things happen.

<p style="text-align:center;">Symptoms: Exhaustion for no reason, extreme thirst, foaming at the mouth, delirium, paranoia, killing instinct and destroying anything in its path.

<p style="text-align:center;">Treatment: There is no treatment. Rest in pepperoni

<p style="text-align:center;">Spreading: Spreads through blood contact, which includes eating infected prey and licking the wound of a wolf who has this disease.

<p style="text-align:center;">Wheezing Cough 

<p style="text-align:center;">As the name says, it is wheezing and coughing. This can be cured using herbs.

<p style="text-align:center;">WinterCold:

<p style="text-align:center;">As the name says, it’s a cold. This can be cured using herbs.

<p style="text-align:center;">SummerHot:

<p style="text-align:center;">This is basically a fever. This can be cured using herbs.

<p style="text-align:center;">EndlessThirst:

<p style="text-align:center;">As the name says, the wolf with this illness is met with a thirst that cannot be satisfied. No known treatment. (Note: This should only last a few days before it should be classified as another illness.)

<p style="text-align:center;">RunningNose:

<p style="text-align:center;">Minor illness. Basically a cold, but can turn into wheezing cough if not cured.

<p style="text-align:center;">Symptoms: A running nose. (Where it gets it’s name from), sneezing and coughing, slightly red and itchy eyes, headaches and stomachaches. (Note: In rare cases there are fevers and vomiting)

<p style="text-align:center;">Treatment: Feverfew and Evergreen Needles chewed together can help with fever. Poppy Seeds and Evergreen Needles can help with stomach aches and headaches. Tansy can be used to help with heavy coughing. Wolves are to get as much rest as possible until this goes away or it can turn into WheezingCough.

<p style="text-align:center;">Spreading: Any wolf in close proximity with the wolf with the illness could get this. Though, it does not ensure they will get it.

<p style="text-align:center;">DenFever

<p style="text-align:center;">A minor illness that really only makes a wolf miserable.

<p style="text-align:center;">Symptoms: Sneezing and coughing, minor headaches and stomachaches, slight fever, (Note: In more rare cases they could have a running nose or vomiting.)

<p style="text-align:center;">Treatment: Poppy Seeds and Feverfew with Ocean Water can lessen the symptoms, but being active and being in fresh air and sunlight really cures it.

<p style="text-align:center;">Spreading: Common in young pups, mothers, and wounded wolves who are closed up in dens for a while. Not contagious and doesn’t always occur in every wolf who is closed up in a den.
