Animal hospital housing?

Does anyone have a special place made for their sick or injured animals?
I usually just grab a cage and bring them in the basement for a few days. In the summer I can just put them in a separate pen with a small house but in weather like we have now I need another option.
A small shed or building could also store any aids I use for helping any injured or sick animal.

For us, it is a cage or pen.
We currently use a cage, as we don't have anything outdoors. Hoping for a nice barn when we find our forever home!!
@ltwickey I loved my barn. The wind took 2/3's down but I am rebuilding.
With my predator issues I have to either bring an injured or sick animal in or have a double pen to keep them safe in.
I had a sick little goat one night so it spent the night on the couch with me in a diaper
@Denise Grant Loved how you spent the night with a sick little goat---I can only imagine getting and keeping on a diaper!
@water2world He actually behaved and kept the diaper on very well. He watched TV with me, lol
@Denise Grant You either had a well behaved goat or you just have a knack!
@water2world Its a combination of both ;)
That is so sweet. I would have done the same thing!!
You were in the diaper all night? ROFL Sorry, I just couldn't resist...I did enjoy that.
It does help if you have good facilities. We have had our share of large animal issues and can't always easily house when we need to. That is when tarps and whatever start to get improvised into something.
@LaurieLovesLearning How do you think I got the goat in a diaper, I had to put one on myself ;) Good catch.
@Denise Grant Haha! Kids do learn best by following an example. 😉
