New animal hospital opens in Miami Two panels of lighted stained glass were salvaged from the old clinic and are used in eye examinations.
For dogs who require overnight stays, another new feature is air conditioning, Hough said. Other features include an intensive care unit, surgery room, new computer network and a public restroom. As children pet rabbits, a baby pig, cats and dogs or played in an inflatable jumping cage, others Sunday afternoon toured the outside and inside of the buildings, which featured pine siding in the reception area. Hough said the flood was devastating because his father, Wylie Hough, bought the former veterinarian hospital in 1963. The business had been in existence since it first opened in 1950. “This (July 2007) was the first time water ever came inside the building,” he said. “I grew up in the veterinarian business and used to go out with my dad,” he said. “I wanted something (profession) that I could take my kids along with me also.” Evelyn Lydon attended Sunday’s event to see the new hospital, which she described as “impressive.” She owns a nearby cattle ranch and brings her animals to Hough’s clinic. “He’s compassionate with the animals, and you can get ahold of him anytime,” Lydon said.
