A message to our clients from Dr. Bonte:

Dear Valued WVH Clients,

It is with mixed emotions that I announce my retirement from Winthrop Veterinary Hospital. My last work day will be March 28, 2026. I will be remaining in the area so I'm sure I will see you around in the community.

I am truly honored that you have trusted me to share in the care of your beloved pets these last 20 years. I have valued the relationships built, from the first puppy or kitten visit through the many senior visits. We have shared laughter, joys, worries, and some tears; I am grateful to you for the journey. I will miss seeing my adorable patients with their purrs and wagging tails. I know that I am leaving them in great hands with the very capable and caring doctors and team members at WVH.

It has been a privilege and joy to be your veterinarian. Thank you for the many wonderful memories. My very best wishes to you and your four-legged family members,

Colette Bonte, DVM

🚨Parvovirus Outbreak🚨

Hello everyone, recently there have been Parvovirus (parvo) outbreaks in areas of Maine- and more recently specifically the Augusta/Gardiner area.

There have been multiple confirmed cases of Parvovirus in dogs who have been at the Gardiner Dog Park recently.

Here is what you need to know about Parvovirus:

Parvovirus is a highly contagious virus causing severe gastrointestinal illness.

Puppies and unvaccinated or immunocompromised/sick dogs are the most at risk.

Parvovirus spreads through direct or indirect contact with infected f***s and is very hardy. It can remain in the environment for months or even years.

Parvovirus causes vomiting, diarrhea (usually bloody), lethargy, and loss of appetite. Symptoms often develop rapidly.

Parvovirus is deadly. If your pet shows symptoms of parvovirus seek treatment immediately. And please let us know beforehand as we may ask you to wait in your vehicle with your pup until we are ready for you to keep potentially contagious pets out of our waiting area.

Prevention is very important. Please make sure your pup is current on their parvovirus vaccinations. Avoid dog parks especially if your pet is a puppy, unvaccinated or sick/immune compromised.

You can reach out to us at 377-2520 if you have any questions or concerns or need to know your pet's vaccination status.
