Human Illness

Unfortunutly, humans can and will get sick from time to time. While some illnesses take time to get over, some…sadly, do not. When a fae develops a close bond/friendship with their human, it can be very heartbreaking to learn that the illness infecting their pet is a fatal one. There are many human illnesses that can be fatal. Some as simple as a common cold, others more complex. How your pet deals with said illnesses depends on their family history. Some known possible fatal illness/viruses are:

pneumonia

hiv/aids

any kind of cancer

*some common colds*(can escalate into something much more serious if not looked after)*

some to do not die from all fatal illnesses however. some humans can be carriers and not be affected at all. However, sometimes illnesses do not claim a human's life.

Sometimes injuries can be a factor. When your human is seriously injured and clearly not going to survive, sometimes the best way, is euthanasia. Euthanasia is when the human is given injections that painlessly end their lives. This can be very hard of the fae owner, especially if they have a strong bond/friendship with their pet. Saying goodbye can be very difficult indeed. There have been some cases in which a human was euthanized and their fae owner never fully recovered from their loss. Such bonds are not all that common, (at least not in the open) more so being in privacy.

When your pet becomes ill, they may be irritable. This is common and the best course of action, is to find what ails them and treat them accordingly. Often asking what is wrong will solve the problem. If your human says he/she has a headache, ask them if they want something to eat and then have them lie down in a room void of light and noise. If they say their somach hurts find out if it was something they ate, or just a simple stomach virus. *Note: if they cannot hold anything down longer than 24 hours, consult a doctor right away as this may be a more serious problem.*

With proper care and knowledge your human will soon be back to their normal selves in no time.
