Diseases arise 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. Diseases cause animals 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''(real or Wurm?)''.

To cure this status feed the animal and use a [[grooming brush]] on it, see also . See [[Animal animal husbandry]].
