Any other information on results incl. tables

The rabbit died on treatment day 5. At necropsy an irritation of the trachea and the bronchial tubes was found. In addition, a moderate pulmonary edema was observed in the died rabbit. During the14-day recovery period the remaining test animals recovered very fast and showed a normal condition. At necropsy no macroscopic findings of internal organs were seen.
