aClinical score at 10 days: 0 (good) to 2 (poor) for weight loss, posture, activity, fur texture and skin integrity and summed for a total score of 0–10

bClinical score: Skin, body weight and hunch. Maximum total score = 7.9

cSkin score: Minimum score 0; maximum score 3.9

dHistology score: Maximum total score of 28 for the large bowel and small bowel, and 40 for the liver

eMean combined disease activity index: Grade 0/1/2 assigned to weight loss, posture, activity, fur texture, skin integrity and paleness. Maximum total score = 1

fClinical score: Grade 0/1/2 assigned to weight loss, posture, activity, fur texture and skin integrity. Maximum total score = 10
