Medhātithi’s commentary (manubhāṣya):
The twelve ‘excretions’ or ‘impurities’ are here indicated.

Ganganatha Jha 1920, Manu-Smṛti: The Laws of Manu with the Bhāṣya of Medhātithi

‘Human beings’ includes all five-nailed animals. As regards dogs and jackals, their excretions are impure by reason of their own untouchability.

Ganganatha Jha 1920, Manu-Smṛti: The Laws of Manu with the Bhāṣya of Medhātithi

‘Urine and ordure’—of all animals, except those of the goat, the sheep, the cow and the horse.—(133).
