In June 1996 companion animal practitioners received a report prepared by the Faculty Investigative Team on the outbreak of polyneuropathy among cats, and at the end of August a 'definitive' bulletin was circulated by Spillers Petfoods. The coccidiostatic drug salinomycin, which was present in the vitamin premix supplied by a third party, was considered the cause of the neuropathy. The investigative team is of the opinion that all veterinary practitioners in the Netherlands should receive a conclusive report about the epidemic because of the unique nature of the epidemic, which despite its sudden outbreak could be well documented, and because aspects of the affair merit the attention of veterinary practitioners.
1996年6月，伴侣动物从业者收到了一份由学院调查小组撰写的关于猫多发性神经病爆发情况的报告。8月底，斯皮勒斯宠物食品公司发布了一份“最终”公告。第三方提供的维生素预混料中含有的抗球虫药盐霉素被认为是导致神经病变的原因。调查小组认为，鉴于此次疫情的独特性质，尽管其突然爆发，但有充分的记录，而且该事件的一些方面值得兽医从业者关注，荷兰所有的兽医从业者都应该收到一份关于此次疫情的最终报告。
