Lewis Hamilton Says Bulldog Roscoe Hospitalized After 'Scary Few Hours'

Coverage beyond his plea and clinic photo remains unverified.

Overview

  • Hamilton asked fans to keep Roscoe in their thoughts and prayers, sharing an image of the bulldog in an oxygen kennel at a veterinary clinic.
  • Roscoe is about 12 to 13 years old and was treated for pneumonia in April with antibiotics and integrative therapies including acupuncture and a high‑dose vitamin C IV.
  • Current reporting on the hospitalization stems from Hamilton’s social-media post, and no official veterinary update has been issued.
  • The Sun reported a second pneumonia, cardiac arrest and a coma, a claim not corroborated by other outlets.
  • Roscoe is a familiar figure at Formula 1 events with roughly 1.3 million Instagram followers and is cared for by trainer Kirstin McMillian when Hamilton is on the road.
