Description

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

Animals

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. Pregnant animals seem to have a higher chance of miscarriage when diseased (when giving birth).

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. 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).
