Veterinarian

What does it take to be a teacher or police officer? What is a typical day for a lawyer or a computer programmer? The KidHaven Press "Exploring Careers series addresses these and other questions that young readers might have as they ponder the wide array of career choices open to them. All books in the series feature interviews with career professionals as well as basic information about the jobs and what they entail. Veterinarians are doctors whose patients are animals and other wildlife. Some only work with household pets such as dogs and cats, while others treat birds, snakes, lizards, ferrets--even hedgehogs. There are veterinarians who treat the huge animals found in zoos, and others who specialize in the penguins, dolphins, and fish found in aquariums. This book discusses different types of veterinarians, as well as their education and training and what they do when they are on the job.Parks, Peggy J. is the author of 'Veterinarian', published 2004 under ISBN 9780737720686 and ISBN 0737720689.
