| Summary: | The present observational project covered Communes 3, 9, and 10 in the municipality of Bucaramanga, encompassing 27 neighborhoods of different social stratification on which linear transects were defined as a measurement parameter for sampling canine populations in street condition. Observations of each neighborhood were made in two different routes at different times and dates, resulting in the registration of 28 adult mixed-breed dogs, mostly inhabiting residential and semi-rural areas. 64% of the population were male, intact. The body condition of 68% of the study population was classified as 3 (ideal weight), 18% were overweight, and 14% were recorded as thin. In terms of canine size, 25 were medium, 2 were large, and 1 was small. 11% of the canines presented dermal alterations manifested in flaking and alopecia. Most of the records were attributed to commune 10, which, although only representing 6 of the 27 sampled neighborhoods, covers a larger geographical area and records high levels of multidimensional poverty. The importance of governmental control is highlighted, following the diagnosis offered through this study, as this issue goes beyond veterinary aspects and impacts the public health of exposed human populations, who should undergo an epidemiological check-up, based on the existence of multiple zoonotic diseases that anticipate the state's inefficient measures. |
