Killingcough
 
Complaint: Killingcough
 
Human Equivalent: Heartworm
 
Description: An illness new to the forest of the Clan Cats that starts as a common case of a rundown cat developing Greencough and evolves into a terrible illness that might send a cat through seizures or into a coma. The illness runs through 3 primary phases.
  1. The patient develops what appears to be classic Greencough
  2. The patient continues to deteriorate, loosing condition and health
  3. The patient might collapse, suffer convulsions, or both

The illness comes to its climax with most patient falling into a coma and passing into death.

 
Duration: Mild: All Killingcough Cases are Severe
Moderate: All Killingcough Cases are Severe
Severe: 1 week to a full Moon, depending on the starting condition of the cat
 
Treatment: Mild: All Killingcough Cases are Severe
Moderate: All Killingcough Cases are Severe
Severe: Initially the treatment of Killingcough is simply that of Greencough. Cats who proceed much longer than a half moon with Greencough or proceed into convulsions become dire cases in which making the patient comfortable is the goal, rather than attempting to treat an ailment that no effective cure has been found.

The more stubborn and creative medicine cats still seek a cure for this deadly ailment when it rears its ugly head, choosing to experiment and cast their eyes to StarClan rather than surrender.

Moderate: All Killingcough Cases are Severe
Severe: All cases of Killingcough result in death.
