Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 300 - < 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
Three of the animals treated at 2000 mg/kg body weight were killed in extremis on the day of dosing or on day 2 of the study. Three animals treated at 2000 mg/kg and three animals treated at 300 mg/kg survived untit the end of the study period.
Clinical signs:
other: All animals treated at 2000 mg/kg expressed marked clinical signs of toxicity on the day of dosing and mild clinical signs were observed up to day 3 or 4. These included hunched posture, sedation, ruffled fur, ventral/lateral recumbency, poor coordination
Gross pathology:
Two of the animals treated at 2000 mg/kg body weight and killed in extremis were observed with hemorrhagic or hemorrhagic-watery fluid contents of duodenum and jejunum.
Otherwise, no macroscopic findings were recorded at necropsy.
