Stacey Solomon was left in floods of tears as she shared heartbreaking news about her beloved dog Teddy during BBC One’s Stacey and Joe. The popular presenter’s programme chronicles her life alongside husband Joe Swash and their brood at Pickle Cottage, including their cherished rescue spaniel Teddy. But during tonight’s emotional episode, tragedy struck on Good Friday when Teddy suddenly fell seriously ill, prompting Stacey to rush him to the veterinary surgery after he lost all ability to walk.
When Joe and son Zachary turned up at the clinic, she emerged in floods of tears before falling into Joe’s arms, telling him: “It’s not that good. You come in and speak to her. I feel really bad.” Through her sobs, she explained: “I don’t know what to do because you can see all his discs are gone, they’ve been bad – it must be hereditary, she said,” Stacey told Joe and her son Zachary. “I don’t know what to do.”

Addressing viewers directly, Joe revealed the devastating prognosis: “At the moment, there’s a 70% chance that he’ll never be able to use his legs again. He’s slipped a disc in his back which is crushing his spinal cord which is making him paralysed.
“Is it fair putting him through an operation with such little chance of recovery? But then, he’s part of our family.”
The devastated pair eventually agreed to put Teddy through the risky procedure and left him at the clinic overnight, though they remained distraught during their journey home.
In a tearful phone call to her sister Gemma, Stacey said: “He’s only got a 30% chance of recovery. She didn’t say there’s 0% chance so what do you do? You have to give it a go, don’t you?

“He has to stay with them until at least Tuesday and that’s if he makes it and the spinal cord doesn’t die,” she added, while Gemma tried to comfort her.
“I’ve got to work out what I’m going to say to them,” Stacey said, referring to her kids. “Because he might not come home, Gem.”
Last week, Stacey shared a heartbreaking update on social media, months after Teddy’s surgery. In an Instagram clip, Stacey revealed she had taken Teddy for professional grooming as washing him had become challenging due to his inability to stand.
She told followers: “Thank you for always asking after Teddy. It really means a lot. He’s such a happy boy. He’s such a lovely boy.
“He will never be able to use his legs again, but he’s getting used to the wheelchair and, just, yeah. You just get on with it don’t you Teddy?”
