There are no known cures for MCD in its human form, which is otherwise known as variant Cruetzfeldt-Jakob Disease (vCJD). Nor are there any cures for MCD in the bovine version, which is otherwise known as Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE). As a matter of fact, no form of this disease in any animal that is likely to be affected (sheep, bison, buffalo, elk, deer, etc.) has any sort of cure whatsoever. This disease in sheep and goats is called Scrapie. In cervids, it is called Chronic Wasting Disease. BSE, Scrapie, and CWD are all collectively known as Transmissble Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE). Thus, TSE is not curable.

"There is currently no proven treatment for the underlying process" which causes variant CJD according to the Edinburgh CJD unit in Scotland, in the United Kingdom (July 2006). This is also true for the bovine variant, sheep variant or cervid variant of this disease. The only possible treatment available (if you can call it that) is humane euthanasia of the affected animal.

there's no effective treatment, so doctors usually focus on making the disease comfortable for the people who have it
