What should you do with an animal that has a contagious disease?

  1. Treat it alongside healthy animals

  2. Euthanize it immediately

  3. Quarantine it from the rest of the herd

  4. Give it extra food and water

The correct answer is: Quarantine it from the rest of the herd

Quarantining the animal is the best course of action because it ensures that the disease does not spread to other animals. Option A is incorrect because it can put other animals at risk of contracting the contagious disease. Euthanizing the animal (option B) should not be the first resort as it is a drastic measure and there may be other treatment options available. Option D is also incorrect as giving the animal extra food and water will not effectively prevent the spread of the disease. The best way to handle an animal with a contagious disease is to quarantine it and seek proper medical treatment for its recovery.
