[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1839280, member: 42463"] [B][B]From a quick google... Salt toxicity is seldom seen in cattle because of their high tolerance for salt[/B]. The one-time lethal dose for mature cattle is 4 to 5 pounds salt. Salt is rapidly absorbed from the intestinal tract into the bloodstream. It is then excreted by the kidneys through urine. The acute oral lethal dose of salt in swine, horses, and cattle is ~2.2 g/kg[/B]; in dogs, it is ~4 g/kg, but clinical signs of toxicosis can appear after ingestion of 2–3 g/kg. Sheep appear to be the most resistant species, with an acute oral lethal dose of 6 g/kg. nervous signs such as tremors, blindness, holding the head abnormally, circling and convulsions. rapid loss of condition and weakness. [B]coma and death[/B]. [/QUOTE]
