A shame Vet emergency clinic has been forced to close its doors

To the editor,

This communiqué goes out to all the people who live and work in the Lakes Region. It is with great sadness that I inform you of the demise of an organization that has been of great service to all the surrounding towns here in Central N.H..

The Winnipesauke Veterinary Emergency Clinic in Meredith has been forced to close it's doors do to the economy and the unwillingness of the banking system to work with those in desperate need. This group of doctors and technicians has for several years worked tirelessly to provide the pinnacle of veterinary service not just to the loving pet owner, but also with many police, military and special needs programs as well. Before WVEC became a part of the Lakes Region community the only emergency vet services available were in Concord or Portsmouth. Both are highly qualified but, it is a very long drive when minutes may mean the survival of your beloved pet.

On a personal level, we have become very close to the staff at WVEC. This team of devoted, caring people have given us many, many more years to enjoy with our four legged family members. If we here in Central N.H. ever get the opportunity to have another service like this in this area I would strongly urge all in need of emergency medical care for your non-human family members to please, please support it.

To Dr. Jonna Fulton and all your staff we extend our love, prayers and thanks for enriching not just our pets lives but ours as well. You all will be deeply missed.
