ooh what if Skystar's brother Wolfsong rejoins the old Clan?
I'm assuming that it's the current cats' grandparents that originally deal with the fire, if it's 15-20 years later

Poultices
• Ragwort Leaves & Juniper Berries - Used for aching joints. Don't eat!!! • Sage Root & Poppy Seeds - Heals cracked pads. • Traveling Herbs - Herbs given to cats going on long adventures, such as the Moonstone. Can Include: Poppy Seeds - Dulls hunger & pain in paws, Tansy Leaves - Keeps hunger at bay, Burnet - Keeps a cat's strength up, Chamomile - Used to calm a cat in case of a nervous breakdown, Sorrel - Keeps a cats strength up, Daisy - An energizer to keep you awake. Eat before going on a long journey. Tastes bitter. • Rosemary & Thyme - If mixed together and applied to a cat's fur, makes a fantastic flea repellent -- fleas hate the smell. • Burdock Root, Cobwebs, & Horsetail - Used to treat infection in rat bites. • Tansy, Watermint, & Feverfew - Strengthening Herbs. •Comfrey & Nettle - Use to soothe wrenched muscles. •Feverfew & Culver's Root - Used for when a cat takes a dip in cold water to ward off chills.
Non-Herbal Medicine • Cobwebs - Used as a bandage for bleeding wounds. Gathered and pressed into wounds to stop bleeding. Generally only used with wounds that risk bleeding heavily as they can cause increased risk of infection • Honey - Soothes infection and, if swallowed, will sooth sore throats. Particularly good for smoke inhalation. A sweet, golden liquid created by bees. Difficult to collect without getting stung, but great for soothing infections or the throats of cats who have breathed smoke. • Mouse Bile - Mouse bile is used to make ticks release their grip on a cat. Dab a little moss soaked in bile on a tick and it'll fall right off. Wash paws thoroughly in running water afterward. • Wild Garlic - Rolling in this herb can help to keep infection out of wounds. It is also good for rat bites. Also used for fleas. • Rushes - Used to set a broken bone in place.
Other Non-Herbal Treatments 1.Gently nipping a cat's spine or poking it hard with a claw tests to see if the backbone is broken. If the subject does not feel the nip or poke, then the spine is broken. Many times a medicine cat will have to poke/nip the subject multiple times in different places to find the break. 2. Licking a cat's fur can help clean wounds, comfort/calm down a shocked or grieving cat, and warm a cat who has become very cold. (Lick the cat's fur the wrong way to do this. The last method is most often used on kits.) 3. Soaking moss in water and holding the dripping moss before a sick, injured or weak cat makes it easier for them to drink. Soaked moss can also be used to cool feverish cats. 4. Rosemary or mint can be used to lighten the death-scent of a dead cat before burial. 5. Using nectar, honey or mouse blood can make herbs sweeter and more appealing to cats--therefore making it easier to take the medicine. 6. Holding a swelling wound in cold water takes down swelling. Cats can also soothe scraped pads by soaking them in water. 7. If a cat has injured a limb or muscle, gentle exercises can be given to gradually strengthen the cat. These exercises can be things like stretching out, rearing up on the hind legs, playing catch with a ball of moss, or flexing the injured limb. 8. Having a sick cat wail or yowl keeps their lungs and chest clear of mucus. 9. If a cat turns up with a thorn in their paw, lick the area around the thorn to loosen it, then grasp with teeth and pull. Disinfect the wound and wrap with cobwebs afterwards. 10. If a cat has a dislocated limb, have them lay down on the ground. Grab the limb with the teeth while holding the cat with paws, and then pull hard. There should be a click as the leg gets back into place. Afterwards, let the cat rest and recover, and give them pain relievers. 11. When a queen is giving birth, give the queen a short stick to bite down on when she feels pain. 12. If there is nothing else available, wounds can be packed with ferns or snow. 13. To get sand or seeds out of a cat’s eye, gently hold the eyelids up with one paw. With the other, clean out the eye with a clump of damp moss. Have the cat blink and rub their eyes repeatedly to dislodge any already loosened debris.
Other Herbs To Keep In The Medicine Den Note: ONLY use these herbs for self-defense against a cat who is a danger to all the Clans, or if a cat from your own Clan asks for a quick, painless path to StarClan while on his or her deathbed.
• Holly Berries: A poisonous berry. Cats die almost instantly if they are consumed. If consumption if not intentional, use yarrow to get the berries out of the cat's stomach.
• Nightshade - Has dark green leaves. There is three types of nightshade. Black nightshade is the most common. It has dark purple berries. Another kind has lighter red berries. Use yarrow as treatment just as death berries.
• Deathberries (Yew) - Fatally poisonous berries that can kill in a matter of minutes. NEVER give to a cat. If a cat is beyond saving, however, you may give them deathberries so they will be killed instantly and suffer no pain. If a cat eats them, then scoop all the berry leftovers out of their mouth. Then force them to swallow yarrow. The victim will vomit out most of the poison, but not all of it. They will be very sick for the next few days. Has dark green leaves and scarlet berries.
• Water Hemlock: Causes writhing and foaming at the mouth. May be deadly if not expelled fast enough.
The berries listed above can also be used as traps for dangerous predators. (Snakes, mountian lions, foxes, badgers, etc.) Stuff a piece of fresh-kill with these berries and set it near the predator's den. They will die quickly and painlessly.
