Tumours of various types occur among captive fur animals to about the same extent as among other species of domestic animals. In the case of fur animals, however, tumours generally can be considered simply as incidental observations at autopsy. As a cause of death, tumours have only secondary significance and this may at least partially depend upon these animals seldom attaining old age in captivity (Momberg-J¢rgensen, 1952). The present article deals with a hereditary form of hyperplastic gingivitis in captive silver foxes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
