Any Way To Heal Dinos ?
Hello! So I'm pretty new to this game, don't know that much about it, but I've played about and seen some stuff, so I know some things.

I tamed a giant bird dino thing (Therizinosaur) and it's pretty awesome, but unfortunately, it stupidly stood on a torch without me noticing fast and took a lot of damage, so even though I leveled its health after, it still has barely any health, meaning I can't really use it, out of fear of it dying by stepping on a pointy stone.

Is there any way to heal it up, other than just waiting for the slow natural regen ? It's already been several ingame days, and it's not regained much.

put meat or berries in its inventory.

Use the meat / berries

As above said.

It just takes a long time, the next most effective methods require cooking items like Kibble or vegetable cake. But they are not really possible for low level players.

get them berries (herbivores) or meat to carnivores or tame a daeodon

For as long as i have played the only thing you can remote use to heal on an herbivore, like therizinos, is sweeet veggie cakes. Carnivores can still heal a small portion of their hp if forcefed raw meat or cooked meat but berries just fill hunger on herbies.

They really should introduce Veterinary Kits or something, to patch badly-wounded beasties up. Getting several K health points back for them is a pain in the fundament.
Alright, sounds like I'm mostly out of luck. Maybe getting a daeodon will help, I should look into that. And sweeet veggie cakes. Thanks people.

Daeodon sucks, it need too much food ands heals only a bit hp, Carnivores = raw meat herbivore = seet veggiecake.... or for singlelayer use a medicalmod or setz the health regeneration higher for tamed dinos

Bear in mind they are now made with honey. Makes it a bit more of a pita.

Trying to heal some Dinos from one of the boss fights, went down to 2k from 42k, been a few days so far :( there needs to be a med kit for dinos, it wouldnt be easy to make or too efffective, but it would make the process alot faster if you have the mats ready.

id imgaine it to need: cloth, fiber, honey, healing potions, crystal, blackpearls, pearls, absorbant spung, metal and polymer.

You might want to forcefeed it berries by using berries in the dinos inventory or use medical brew instead of berries. https://ark.gamepedia.com/Medical_Brew

zombies don't need heeling... necro
and all answers already there, daeo cake...

Berries don't heal dinos, nor do medical brews. Only way to heal herbivores is sweet veggie cakes

You can heal carnivores with any kind of meat. I personally recommend cooked meat, if I remember right it heals more. Although not as much food, but healing wise I'm pretty sure any kind of cooked meat is better than it's raw variant.

Yes, it can take a while especially if you level a good number of points into food. BUT.. if you want a great way or getting the food back up fast, use kibble. The Daedon uses Iguanadon Kibble, and it restores 120 food a pop, with no Global Cooldown like Cooked Prime Meat.

Even Dodo kibble restores 60 food, as a decent alternative.
