Remove soiled litter, hay, and fur from the hutch.
Ackerley liked to see her defecate, he said: "She lowers herself carefully and gradually to a tripodal attitude with her hind legs splayed and her heels as far apart as she can get them so as not to soil her fur or her feet.
Animal body weights, the occurrence of diarrhoea (as detected by perianal fur soiling), and total food intake for each group were recorded daily.
In the light of these findings, dogs and cats likely become a risk factor mainly by being infected themselves, in addition to transferring the eggs from fox feces or soil in their fur.
The United States sent military expeditions along the route of the trails to assert national interests in the face of the continued British presence in the northwestern fur posts on soil which the U.S. claimed.
We expected the BALB/c.D2Nramp1 congenic mice to survive and to spontaneously clear the infection, but instead they started to lose weight by day 5 6 after infection (Figure 1A) and they had visible evidence of diarrhea as manifested by fecal soiling of their peri-anal fur.
Since we could not measure the fecal output of mice directly and we could only infer the presence of unformed stools by fecal soiling of their peri-anal fur, we developed a scoring system to rate the severity of diarrhea based on the gross appearance of the colon at necropsy.
The mainland subspecies, P. p. subgriseus, lives on the darkest soils and has the darkest fur.
Because polar bears rely partly on their fur for insulation and soiling of the fur by oil reduces its insulative value, oil spills put bears at risk of dying from hypothermia.
