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.

Days of Surgery
Throughout the week I observed surgeries at the hospital which ranged from a mass removal to a neuter. The mass removal was conducted by Dr. Miller and was a quick process because the mass was very small and did not seem to be cancerous. The neuter took around twenty minutes and was a quick process as well. There were no time consuming surgeries this week. When I was not observing in surgery, I was assisting Veterinary Technicians in surgery prep by taking vitals and lifting animals onto tables.
