Mortality:
A single oral administration of 200 or 500 mg/ kg bw was lethal within 1 day for both animals tested.
No mortality at 50 mg/ kg bw.
Clinical signs:
other: 200 or 500 mg/ kg bw: Apathy, vomiting, excessive salivation, strong ataxia and tremor were noticed before excitus . In general symptoms of an anilin-like blood poisoning with formation of methemoglobin were observed. 50 mg: Salivation and vomiting aft
Gross pathology:
200 mg/kg bw: collapsed lung, discolored liver
Other findings:
Methemoglobin formation was observed in all dose groups.
