An ataxic, staggering gait. Impaired vision - the animal may collide with objects. Loss of a sense of fear of people and strange objects. The animal reacts to noise - voices or loud noise may result in the animal trying to rise and run further. The ears may droop.
Some animals stay on their feet and can be approached.
Others collapse, either on their sides or on their sternum. Remember that misses and malfunctions do occur. However, once an animal is struck you must wait at least ten minutes before re-darting it. If some symptoms are shown, but the animal has not gone down in this time, then at least half of the original dose should be administered. If you have no navigation at the top of the page, go HERE .
