Niles Animal Hospital · Directory
Niles Animal Hospital has a long and distinguished history, being recognized as one of the foremost veterinary practices in the nation. The hospital was established by Dr. T. J. Lafeber, Jr. who was considered one of the world’s leading authorities on pet bird care and medicine.
After Dr. Lafeber graduated from Iowa State College of Veterinary Medicine in 1949, he opened Niles Animal Hospital. His small animal practice was extremely successful catering to dogs, cats and birds. In 1953, Niles Animal Hospital achieved accreditation from the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) and has remained accredited since then (see the article describing accreditation on this web site). In 1960, Dr. Lafeber was made chairman of the AAHA Committee on Avian Medicine. He performed in depth studies on the problems and diseases of pet birds as well as the proper methods of maintaining them as pets. His success in the field was confirmed by his large following of private bird owners, pet stores, aviculturists and breeders.
Dr. Lafeber was a noted speaker at national, state and local veterinary association meetings, the World Veterinary Medical Association and Society of Laboratory Animal Medicine. In 1974, he received a special award from AAHA in recognition of contributions in the field of Avian Medicine and Clinical Laboratory Medicine. He was a pioneer the establishment of an in-house diagnostic lab set up in a small animal practice, which Niles still prides itself on having to this day. This enables us to quickly generate laboratory results for critically ill patients so appropriate treatment can be instituted immediately. In 1975, Dr. Lafeber was named by AAHA Region III as the Outstanding Practitioner of the year. He has won many other awards throughout his distinguished career.
Dr. Lafeber authored Tender Loving Care for Pet Birds, in 1977, a book which gave concerned bird owners a source of accurate, proven essential facts so that birds could live happy and healthy lives, be a joy to their owners and be acknowledged as one of nature’s loveliest creatures.
