Diseases and Cures

Occasionally your pet will get sick. Here is a list of all the diseases and their cures. For each disease, the Neopian Pharmacy cure (first column) has a 100% chance to heal your pet - the cures from the Lost Desert Medicine shop or from Remarkable Restoratives may not work the first time you try them.

If the cure is too expensive, you can also visit the Healing Springs and your pet MAY be healed. If your pet doesn't get healed, try again in another 30 minutes. The Discarded Magical Blue Grundo Plushie of Prosperity and The Wheel of Knowledge also has a small chance to cure your pet.

One last method of curing a sick pet, and also a favourite of Battledomers, is to use a Cooling Ointment on your pet. Not only should this cure the disease, it will also completely heal your pet back up to full hit points! Another cure-all favoured by many players is Warm Amber Ointment, though it only heals diseases, not hit points.

If you aren't a patient person or don't have the neopoints to burn, another alternative is to "switch" your pet's illness to one that is cheaper to cure. Pets can only have one disease at a time, and there are several foods (as well as battledome items) that will give your pet a certain disease. The most commonly known is feeding Poisonous Jelly until your pet catches Neomonia. Then, a Medicinal Soap can cure your pet. Other alternatives are Poisonous Lollypop to cause Floppy Tongue, which you can cure with Tongue Shrinker , or Rotten Omelette to cause Ugga-Ugga, which you might be able to cure with Shrimp Powder , Gwontek Syrup , or Peppermint Stomach Medicine (these three items have a chance that they won't work on the first try).

Also, keep in mind that you can unlock Meuka as a secret battledome challenger if you happen to contract Sneezles or Neoflu and visit your Quick Reference page.

Note : Only medicines from Neopian Pharmacy will cure your pet 100% of the time. The other alternatives only have small chances to heal your pet from a given disease.
