In our study, MS-based high-resolution proteomic analysis of CSF have been employed in order to gain deeper insights into changes occurring during IVDH in dogs, monitoring the pathophysiological processes at the protein and metabolite levels. The proteomics study involved canine patients classified within two groups. Healthy dogs (control group) (N=6) were mix breeds (20 kg average body weight), age 2-6 years, while the intervertebral disc herniation group (N=9) were mixed breeds (body weight 6-15 kg), age 7-12 years. In IVDH dogs, disc herniation was detected in T13/L1/L2 discs by CT. The dogs in IVDH group were paraplegic with preserved deep pain reflex and underwent a surgery procedure for decompression of the spinal cord.
