what happened to stacey solomon dog

Stacey Solomon’s dog Teddy suddenly became seriously ill in 2025 after a spinal problem left him paralysed in his back legs, and he is now living as a disabled dog using a wheelchair but remains a much‑loved part of the family.

What actually happened

• Teddy, a rescue spaniel, became suddenly unwell and lost the use of his back legs around Good Friday 2025, despite seeming fine earlier that day.

• Vets discovered he had a slipped disc in his back that was crushing his spinal cord, a condition described as predisposed and relatively common in spaniels.

Treatment and diagnosis

• Stacey and Joe agreed to put Teddy through major spinal surgery even though vets warned there was only about a 30% chance he would recover full use of his legs.

• After surgery and a critical period at the vets, he came home but remained paralysed in his back legs and needed intensive care, including physio, medication schedules and bladder expression several times a day.

How Teddy is doing now

• Stacey has shared that Teddy will never walk on his back legs again, but he has a special dog wheelchair and is learning to get around with it, remaining a happy, affectionate dog.

• She has reorganised work and home life so the family can care for him, saying her focus is on giving him “the happiest life” they can as a disabled pet.

Online reaction and forum chatter

• Fans and forum users have been widely supportive, sending messages of sympathy and praising the family for committing to long‑term care instead of putting Teddy to sleep.

• Discussions often highlight how emotional Stacey’s TV episodes and social posts about Teddy have been, with many people sharing their own experiences of disabled pets and spinal issues in dogs.
