She was hardly what anyone would consider an empathetic wolf, not by a long stretch of the word, but she did feel for Rudyard's struggle. If anything was relatable it was love for family, and wanting to protect them at all costs. She could imagine searching tirelessly for a solution if she was in Rudyard's position and she applauded him for his perseverance. "It really can help quite a bit. Doses too large might make her seem.. off, but start slow and see how it affects her. It has wonderful sedative properties. If she's in pain it will help dull that too." It was by no means a miracle cure but since there was no cure for sickness of the mind, not this sort, this would have to do - and it could help her considerably if Rudyard tried it.
"It's pretty easy to spot. It looks like regular vegetation from far away but up close you can see the difference. And it's pungent - very pungent. The plant itself is symmetrical, with seven or nine long leaves. At the bottom of the leaf they are small, with the largest leaf at the top in the middle. Here," she gestured to the ground, to a patchy spot of dirt, and tried to draw out an example. "And each leaf has a specific pattern inside it," she drew lines from each spiky edge of the leaf down to its center. It was a rudimentary drawing at best but he hoped it'd help him.
Though... looking on his own with an inexperienced healer could be dangerous. Giving the wrong psychedelic to an already mentally unstable patient could be dangerous - or, in the case of something toxic, just plain kill her. "It shouldn't be hard to find around here. Maybe not this exact area, but..." Why not help? It wasn't like there was anything that made her desperately need to return home right away. "Not the best season for gathering but surely we can find something." And even if it wasn't potent, she'd just instruct Rudyard to feed her more, that was all. Even a plant wilted and struggling to live could have some medicinal benefits in its leaves, she knew that much.
