Clinical signs:
There were no signs of toxicity or ill health in any rabbit during the observation period.

Dermal responses
Moderate to severe erythema with slight to moderate oedema was seen following removal of the dressings. On day 3 severe erythema with necrosis was seen. Necrotic reactions, brown hardening of the skin and desquamation of the stratum corneum was seen between day 6 and 14.
