Overview

  • Teddy, a rescue spaniel, became suddenly unwell in April when a previously unknown predisposed condition caused a burst spinal disc and loss of mobility in his hind legs.
  • Emergency surgery gave him a slim chance of full recovery and led to weeks of strict crate rest and daily physiotherapy at home.
  • Vet assessments on June 3 indicate he will likely never regain feeling in his back legs and will require permanent assisted walks and bladder management.
  • Stacey Solomon and her husband, Joe Swash, perform regular physio sessions and manually express his bladder to maintain his health and comfort.
  • Social media followers have offered widespread support as the family at Pickle Cottage adapts to lifelong care demands for their beloved pet.
