Main / Diseased

A disease can be caught by animals being poorly treated and then they may pass to other animals or players.

Animals

Animals may rarely catch a disease which will change its condition. A disease arises mainly from two factors: large amounts of animals standing together in small spaces (three or more on one tile) or by catching it from another animal or player that is diseased. A disease causes an animal to lose fat faster and eventually die if left untreated. To remove a disease from an animal put it in isolation, keep it well fed, and groom it.

Diseases can be prevented by grooming an animal regularly. You can tell when a creature needs grooming by examining it. Animal usually require grooming about every two days.

To cure this status feed the animal and use a grooming brush on it. See animal husbandry.
