Hello, my name is Kenny Fernandez. I am an intern at both Oradell Animal Hospital and Hasbrouck Heights-Oradell Veterinary Group. Becoming a veterinarian has been a dream of mine since I was a child. I've always wanted to help any animal that I could and by reaching this dream of mine that is exactly what I will be doing. Fortunately, I've been given the opportunity to see what the field entails.

Check-Up Appointments
Compared to the main hospital in Paramus, the office in Hasbrouck Heights is very small. My internship there is on Thursdays and usually it becomes rather busy between the hours of 2 and 3 pm. I observe check-up appointments by Dr. Boren, and the patients that come in vary from turtles and guinea pigs to cats and dogs. This week when I arrived, there were two turtles in the third room. It was very interesting to see because it was the first time I saw a turtle at the vet office. Although I did not come in until the very end of the appointment, the owner of the two turtles let me see them and told me one was in for inability of laying her eggs.
