@vetmaster1: 🐕🔬 HOW DOES A HERNIA FORM? Ever wondered how an intestine can protrude through the abdominal wall? A hernia develops when a weakness or defect occurs in the abdominal wall, allowing abdominal contents such as fat or intestinal loops to push through and create a visible bulge. 🩺 Understanding anatomy is the first step toward understanding surgical conditions! ⚠️ Some hernias can become emergencies if the protruded contents become trapped or strangulated.
