Diseases can be prevented by grooming an animal regularly. You can tell when a creature needs grooming by [[examining]] it. Animals usually require grooming about every two real life days.
To slowly cure this status, make sure the animal is well-fed, put it in isolation, and use a [[grooming brush]] on it. Another option is to ask a [[Fo]] priest to cast [[Humid drizzle|humid drizzle]]. This will instantly heal the disease (note that client delay may sometimes delay reporting of a newly disease-free animal in-game when this approach is taken).
