This is a full walk through for the quest, so if you're confused by any of the quick steps, hopefully these can help you out.

Head over to Elixa's Hospital in Neverberry Thicket and ask her if she has any quests. The quest should pop up immediately and you'll be able to begin. Upon starting the quest, Elixa will greet you:

Elixa: "Pixie Name Here! Welcome! What can I do for you?"
"Animal Friend Name Here is feeling poorly? What are the symptoms? Fever, no energy -- and Animal Friend Name’s colors are fading? Why, that’s Fading Flu!"
"I know just the tonic to cure it! Shall we get started?"

Step 1

Accept this quest?

Elixa: "That’s it then! While I begin work, would you do me a teensy favor, as Rosetta would say? I spilled berry juice all over my shoes."
"Could you fly to Mendy’s Tailoring Nook and make me a new pair?"

Fly to Mendy's Tailoring Nook in Maple Tree Hill. Use Practice Tailoring to make any pair of shoes you like. Return to Elixa's Hospital in Neverberry Thicket when you are done!
