Overview

• Teddy suddenly lost use of his hind legs on Good Friday, prompting an emergency dash to the vet shown in the latest episode of Stacey and Joe.
• Joe Swash told cameras vets found a slipped disc crushing Teddy’s spinal cord and estimated a roughly 70% chance he would not regain leg function.
• After anguished discussions, the family consented to emergency spinal surgery and left Teddy in overnight care during a critical recovery window.
• In a recent Instagram video, Stacey said Teddy will never use his legs again but is adapting well to a wheelchair and remains a happy dog.
• Stacey suggested the issue may be hereditary and has shared practical challenges of ongoing at-home care, including grooming and daily support.
