Mortality:
No mortality occured in this study.
Clinical signs:
Slight piloerection, hunched posture and dyspnea were observed, which are common signs in acute tests. The animals recovered within 3 days.
Body weight:
No impact on the body weight was observed.
Gross pathology:
At autopsy a dilated kidney was detected in one female. No deviations from normal morphology were found in the remaining animals.
