Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
ca. 1 430 mg/kg bw
Remarks on result:
other: Original value: approximate median lethal dose (ALD): ca. 1350 mm³/kg bw (ca. 1430 mg/kg bw; calculated with a density of 1.0605 g/ml).
Mortality:
At 7 days post dose, mortality was 0/20, 0/20, 0/20, 2/20, 8/20, 14/20, 20/20, and 20/20 in the groups given 200, 400, 800, 1000, 1250, 1600, 2000, and 2500 ml/kg, respectively. All deaths occurred within the first 2 days post dose. No lethality was observed within the first hour after dosing.
Clinical signs:
other: 2500 - 1600 ml/kg: dyspnea, intermittent respiration, serous secretion of the buccal cavity, twitching, indication of rolling fits, piloerection, high-legged gait, squatting posture, shallow respiration, apathy, adhesions at the eyes, and ruffled fur. The
Gross pathology:
Examination of decedents:
smears at nostrils and anus, distended gastro-intestinal tract, fluid-enriched serous membranes (especially of the thorax), serous content of the stomach and putrefaction.

Examination of survivors:
adhesive-phlogistic processes in the gastric wall (possibly due to dosing by gavage).
