Clinical signs:
other: Signs of toxicity related to dose levels: Main symptoms were reduction of motor activity, ataxia, diarrhoea, piloerection and neglected fur. Most of the surviving animals recovered on day 2 of the observation, although the neglected appearance lasted
Gross pathology:
Effects on organs: Common findings including spotted fur, abnormal content of the gastro-intestinal-tract, stomach expansion and dark lungs. In single cases adhesions between the lungs and the diaphragm and further liquid accumulation in the thorax region, dark adrenal gland and thin hair were found.
