Ah, guest!
There you are. I'm ready to see you now.
Welcome to the Neopian Emergency Room
What is a disease?
A disease is defined as an impairment of health or a condition of abnormal functioning. To a Neopet it is just as an uncomfortable experience as it is to you or me.
In Neopia, your pet can catch a disease in a number of ways and it is pretty common for your pet to fall ill with some variety of disease.
The good thing to know is your pets can not die from any contracted disease. It is after all just a game, however if you leave your pet sick and untreated their mood will gradually turn to the depressed state. While being depressed your pet is at a higher risk of being the victim of a very rare Random Event which will cause your pet to turn into the basic colour Blue. This change is permanent, so if your ill, depressed Royal pet stays untreated too long they may revert to Blue and you will have to buy another paint brush to make it Royal again.
Ebon fears Blue!
While your Neopet is sick, it will steadily lose hit points and will not be unable to fight in the Battledome until it's cured.

What do I do, my pet has a Disease!
Ok, first things first, head over to the Neopian Hospital which is located in the Neopian Plaza.
Below I have marked it's location on the map:
The hospital lists all the diseases, and their cures.
Once you have diagnosed your pets disease and found the cure you need its time to make a b-line to the local Pharmacy which is located on the Main Map.
Below is its location:
The Pharmacy sells all cures, but cures do vary in rarity so some may not stock here all the time. Especially if there is an epidemic or one of the wheels is dishing out a specific disease.
One at a time please.

How do I cure my pet?
There are 5 main methods to cure your pet from its ailment.
- Healing springs
- Species specific cures
- Heal items
- Pharmacy Medicine
- Alternative Medicine
The Healing springs
This will be your very first stop. The healing springs is free to use as many times as you need.
Its only restrictions are that you can only visit once every 30 minutes, and what she does is random.
For the best result, go every 30 minutes with your sick pet set as active until she cures it.
*Note: You are allowed to visit the Healing Springs on your side accounts.
This is the message you are wanting:
The Water Faerie says a few magical words and...
All your Neopets have their health completely restored!!!
Yes I have limits, but it's FREE!
*NOTE*
Can't go to the springs because she's telling you your in a battle? There is something you can do to fix it!
1. Visit the STATUS page in the battledome.
If that doesn't do the trick then;
2. Unequip and then reequip a weapon to your pet. That can be done HERE!
Species specific cures
Did you know...
Feeding your Pteri an item with "worm" in it will make it bloated and cured of any disease.
Feeding your Kau any "milk" item will make it bloated.
Feeding your ghost coloured pet "Magic Ghost Marshmallows" will restore all its Hit Points.
Heal items
Medicinal Plant- It "may" heal your pet, but not always, this method requires patience.
Yellow Healthshroom- For about 50k you can pick up this nifty little shroom which will heal you pet of any disease.
Witchy Negg- "May" heal your pets disease, but also may Change your pets gender, turn them into a Lenny, Tuskaninny or Moehog, boost their intelligence or raise their hit points.
Its random.
Pharmacy Medicine
Below I have listed each disease and their Medicine along with a link to quick search them in Shop Wizard/Trade Post price.
Each is guaranteed to heal your pet of the disease its suffering from.
I update the below disease causing games once a month.
Always double check the Shop wizard and Trades prices before buying!
Current Wheel of excitement Disease:
Chickaroo
Current Qasalan Expellibox Disease:
Reptillioritus
If you don't want to pay the shop wizard/trades price, you could try your luck buying one at the Pharmacy.
*HINT*
Did you know your pet can catch other disease even if they are sick?
If you find your pet has caught a nasty disease like Ugga-Ugga which has an expensive medicine, and the healing springs is taking too long, try feeding your pet Poisonous Jelly until it catches Neomonia.
Neomonia's med is a lot cheaper, and the new disease overrules the first so you only have to cure the current disease! Cool eh?

One last thing to note about healing.
Completing an Earth Faerie Quest DOES NOT heal your pet of a disease.
All she will do is make one pet randomly bloated in hunger, restore its hit points to full and increase its overall body weight.
I bestow a great feast onto your pet!

Games and Wheels
All these games will give your pet a disease if you happen to get an unlucky spin/drop.
Wheel of Excitement- If you land on the Skull and crossbones symbol, your active pet falls ill with whatever disease the wheel is set on for that month. This changes from month to month.
Wheel of Misfortune- If you land on the "Pox" symbol, your active pet would fall ill with a random disease.
NC Mall Qasalan Expellibox- If your scarab lands on the Skull and crossbones symbol, your active pet falls ill.
Currently there is one disease known to be obtained there, Reptillioritus. I do not have enough data to determine if this will change on a monthly basis like the WoE.
Species Specific Causes
If you feed your Kyrii an "apple" item it could get Itchy Scratchies.
Quiggles can catch Neezles from eating "Cream" foods.
Tonu's can get sick if fed a "Melted Chocolate Negg".
Cheese" items can cause a Skeith can get Neezles.
Random Event
Yes, even if you avoid all the above causes, your pet can still get sick!
This is one of the many Random SHH or "Something Has Happened" events you could get while wandering the site.
This event causes your pet to come douwn with a randomly generated disease.
This SHH however does NOT make your pet ill, its just an odd (and the first time you see it, heart stopping) event that does nothing.
Back to top
Wait...Why do people WANT a sick pet?
Two simple reasons:
On August 23rd 2002 Meuka rose to take on the Defenders of Neopia!
In Defenders of Neopia Meuka is the 4th challenger and fairly tough to beat.
If however you are successful you are rewarded with the above Trophy and Avatar.
Unfortunatly in order to obtain this challenger your pet must be ill with either the Sneezles or the Neoflu.
These are the only diseases that work, this Guide is a pretty good method for beating him, I myself used this tactic.
Dare you take me on?

Well thats about it from me.

Thank you.
Ebon wishes your pets good health,
and a swift recovery!
