Stacey Solomon shares emotional update on dog Teddy as he uses wheelchair

Stacey Solomon has shared an update on her pet pooch Teddy, whose health has been a huge concern to the star. It comes months after her last update after previously explaining the dog had to have surgery after discovering he has a "predisposed condition".

Now, taking to Instagram to share a sweet video of the pet enjoying being petted. As Teddy offered his paw following a grooming visit, Stacey explained his visit was due to it being difficult to wash him herself due to him not being able to stand up.

She went on: "Thank you for always asking after Teddy. It really means a lot. He's such a happy boy. He's such a lovely boy."

Stacey candidly revealed: "He will never be able to use his legs again, but he's getting used to wheelchair and, just, yeah. You just get on with it don't you Teddy?"

And she called him "just such a good boy" as she continued to shower him with cuddles and strokes before giving him a kiss at the end of the video.

Initially opening up about her pet's plight, Stacey told her followers earlier in the year how he had become "suddenly unwell" prior to a procedure. Then, in May, the 35-year-old explained how the Spaniel had suffered a burst disc and "lost the use of his back legs".

She later revealed it was "likely" that he will "never get the feeling back" in his legs and told how the pup will also need help emptying his bladder and walking. But now, thanks to wheelchair, Teddy is able to play again.

In July, she shared a clip of her dog getting about on his new aide. Posting a video of him with his assisted wheels, the former X Factor star shared her delight at seeing him able too run and play again.

She gushed: "Our Darling Teddy has his wheels. We have spent the last few days trying to teach teddy a new way of getting around & he’s finally learning to love his wheels. He was very nervous at first but seeing him today walking around with peanut again was so special.

"We have spoken to our vet & have bought teddy some wheels. If we are doing anything wrong please be kind. This is a totally new journey for us & we are doing our best to give teddy the best life he can possibly have so just let us know if you have any tips."

She continued, "Teddy you’ve been such an amazing boy. We know your whole world has turned upside down but you’ve been so calm and patient and we hope we are giving you the second chance that you deserve. To the moon & back Teddy."
