ST, KD (6-15g)
The She Wolf loved to nourish ST yin by eating rabbits that made her salivate every summer . Every time she saw a rabbit her eyes brightened and she pounced on the lower back of the unsuspecting victims.
Summer was great, but if she-wolf wasn't careful to stockpile some food the winter would bring (cc: deficient cold of SP/ST with appetite loss and diarrhea). One time she got a fever from eating a young feverish rabbit, so she decided not to do that again (cc: do not eat in early stage of febrile disease)
