i would forget even handling the animal. TB is ultra mega contagious. you get in contact with its saliva you risk getting infected. you need disposable gloves and a face mask. wash down completely after handling animal. plus do you want your family to get sick. leave the animal far away from other people.
2 :
No need of special equipment. the usual protection materials disposable gloves and mask
3 :
Tuberculosis is an air borne disease where the victim cough out disease carrying pathogens in sputum...so its very important that we don't ihale that infected air nor to make contact withe the sputum....so the ideal equipment will be a mask, with a protective suit to prevent ant part of the body from making contact and also gloves
