Isolate sick animals immediately

Solution

If you suspect an animal is sick, separate it from the rest of the flock/herd immediately to prevent potential spread.

Explanation

Move the sick animal to a separate, comfortable isolation area ('hospital pen') with its own food and water. This protects healthy animals and allows you to observe and treat the sick one more easily.

Notes

Handle healthy animals before handling the sick one, or change clothes/wash hands thoroughly in between.
