Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
In the dose ranging study both pairs of males and females died at dosing levels 3000, 4000 and 5000 mg/kg, death was 1-2 days after dosing.
Clinical signs in survivors, noted 1-5 days after dosing included coma, piloerection, soiled coat, clonic convulsions, dacryorrhoea, chromodacryorrhea, rhinorrhoea and excess salivation.
No abnormalities were noted at post mortem examination.
