Abstract: The main purpose of cerebrospinal fluid investigation is often to assist in the diagnosis procedure by reducing the possibility that particular disease processes are present. The value of CSF inspection becomes evident when its outcomes are juxtaposed with the patient's history, clinical symptoms, imaging data, and supplementary lab tests, a standard procedure for tests with limited specificity. Cerebrospinal fluid analysis has been a crucial diagnostic tool in clinical neurology and subsequently veterinary neurology since the early 20th century. The CSF analysis gives professionals trustworthy information about the neurological condition and the occurrence of disease. This review's purpose is to furnish empirical validation and endorsement for the present perception of the clinical applicability of CSF analysis within veterinary neurology. Given the paucity of information on veterinary practice's biochemical and physiological lab tests and the reference values for the biological components in the CSF, this work could serve as a valuable guide for both investigators and veterinary professionals.
