Death

Feb 6, 2006

Polo, MO, USA, The Missouri Highway Patrol has concluded that Dr. Tom Houghton, a longtime Lakeland veterinarian, died when he was pinned between the bucket of a small loader and its rollcage Monday in Polo, Mo. Houghton, 60, apparently stood up and inadvertently hit the control switch that operates the bucket, according to Sgt. Scott Shipers with MHP. The death was ruled an accident.

Note

owner of veterinary clinics in Lakeland and Winter Haven, who died Monday in a farm accident. He was at his birthplace of Polo, Mo., visiting his parents and brother who have adjacent farms where Houghton kept part of his short-horn cattle herd.

Houghton owned the Cleveland Heights Animal Clinic in South Lakeland for more than 30 years. He recently completed a major renovation at the South Lakeland location and had expanded his practice into Winter Haven in 1999 with the purchase of Northwest Animal Hospital.

"He really loved taking care of animals," said Jennifer Canady, Houghton's daughter. "He loved playing a role in enriching the lives of families in our community through helping them to have healthy, happy animals they could enjoy. He really loved what he did."

Houghton was among Lakeland's best-known veterinarians and worked to promote better health care for animals and for improved conditions at Polk County Animal Control facilities.

He was a mentor to younger vets in the county who were just opening practices, and saw veterinary medicine as a team sport rather than a competition among clinics.

That last trait was demonstrated by his willingness to fill in for other vets when they needed help -one of the reasons that Dr. Dorsey Hightower, a longtime Houghton friend and fellow vet, showed up at Houghton's practice when he heard of Houghton's death.
