Principles of method if other than guideline:
There was the following deviation to the project protocol.
Concerning:
Administration, p 10 of the project protocol
Before:
Volume of administration: The test item will be administered according to bodyweight at a volume of 10mL/kg bw if technically possible.
New:
Volume of administration: The test item was administered according to bodyweight at a volume of 5 mL/kg bw.
Reason:
5 mL were used for administration as the test item was already soluble in 5mL. Due to animal welfare reasons, 5 mL were preferred as this smaller amount was less stress for the animals.
GLP compliance:
yes

No other treatment related clinical effects were observed in any animals of any steps.

Effect on organs (related to dose level):

Animal No. 3 of step 1 (300 mg/kg bw):

The animal died within the sixth night post-dose. The next morning necropsy was not possible, as due to cannibalism only residual parts without any organs of this animal were found.

Animal No. 1 of step 3 (2000 mg/kg bw):

Lateral recumbency, rough coat.

Animal No. 1 of step 4 (2000 mg/kg bw):

Abdominal position, opened mouth after death, liver notable dark colored (maybe congestion); right lung superior bloodinfiltrated.

Animal No. 3 of step 4 (2000 mg/kg bw):

Abdominal position, rough coat.
