I never saw them do it, but I have seen a few with this enabled standing next to animals with a bucket nearby, and a puddle of water on the ground with pages worth of blood and substances. This happens next to one milker at the farmer's workshop. Also, a ranger laid up in the hospital for years who is always surrounded by animals, pets and strays, always has a puddle of bloody water by his bed, and if I run dfclean and look away for a minute, there'll be another.

Implemented yet?

Caging large animals
- I have not seen caretakers heal animals. I have noticed that only dwarfs with Animal caretaker (or animal trainer?) enabled will shuffle animals between cages. Does anybody know which skill it is? It would be useful to put on this page and the cage page.--Kwieland 16:38, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
- I'm pretty sure it's Animal Trainer. Any 3rd opinion? Speed112 17:41, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
- In 40d, only Animal Trainers would haul dangerous creatures between cages (for example, cramming all of your goblin prisoners into a single cage) - if the animal is tame, then anybody would do the job, even nobles. I wouldn't be surprised if the current version behaves the same way, though it would still be wise to check. --Quietust 18:03, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for the confirmation. You are correct, I was referring to dangerous creatures. I think the mishap came on a (corrupted?) 40d game where I had tamed and bred several Giant Cave Swallows. But, several of them showed "Tame" in their title, but would attack anyone who tried to deal with them. So has anyone figured out how to trade away creatures without letting them out of their cages, or is that still buggy?--Kwieland 01:01, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

animal cleaning
I never saw them do it, but I have seen a few with this enabled standing next to animals with a bucket nearby, and a puddle of water on the ground with pages worth of blood and substances. This happens next to one milker at the farmer's workshop. Also, a ranger laid up in the hospital for years who is always surrounded by animals, pets and strays, always has a puddle of bloody water by his bed, and if I run dfclean and look away for a minute, there'll be another.
