Stacey Solomon gives her dog 'a second chance in life' as she reveals Teddy is now in a wheelchair after his devastating diagnosis
The TV personality, 35, shared that her adorable pooch is back walking around after they bought him some wheels to assist his back two legs.
She explained in a heartfelt Instagram post that the hound was nervous to begin with but has now settled into to his new way of life.
Alongside the clip, she penned: '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.
'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'
Stacey revealed in April that she could lose her beloved dog Teddy, a cocker spaniel who has lost all feeling in his hind legs, in the coming weeks.
However, she later relieved her social media followers by confirming his health had improved.
Stacey revealed the dog's illness was caused by a predisposed condition the family were not aware of and explained that the next few weeks were crucial for Teddy - who 'may not fully recover' even if he survives.
Following a vet visit, where Stacey was pictured puffing on a cigarette, she took to her Instagram Stories to give fans an update.
Sharing an adorable snap of Teddy, she penned: 'We went for a check up at the vest this morning.
'He's doing well. Still no feeling in his toes but he is happy and healthy otherwise which is all we can hope for.
'Not going to lie when the vet said I was doing a great job I may have cried. It's been a crazy two weeks and a half.'
The Solomon family adopted Teddy back in 2022 following the death of their previous dog Theodore.
Stacey explained that Teddy's name was a tribute to his predecessor.
She said: 'We called him Teddy because Teddy can be short for Theodore so we thought it was a special tribute to Theo.'
Stacey added: 'We love you Ted. So so much. Pickle cottage is far too quiet without you. I miss my toilet buddy. Peanut is so sad without his best friend.'
Stacey previously explained that she believes Teddy was put up for adoption by his breeder because of his small size for a working spaniel.
She said at the time: 'We didn't pick him out but we said we would take any dog suitable for young children and another dog.
'We didn't mind what breed, colour, coat anything as long as he would be happy and it was right. And along came Teddy.'
Last week Teddy could be seen with a bandage around one of his legs in the snaps shared by Stacey.
There were also two catheters sticking out of Teddy's leg, suggesting at the time that his treatment was ongoing.

'Enrichen coastal communities' Mr Tonks said the industry in the South West was doing well, but he felt too many sardines caught in the region were going abroad and did not get enough love added the event would be a good excuse for people to come together and celebrate."I think it's these community events which really enrichen our coastal communities and really give people something to get together for and look forward to," Mr Tonks said."Imagine if every coastal town in the South West had a sardine festival on different dates - it would just be fabulous with everyone looking to put on the best party."I hope we can inspire other places to build something around the sardine." Mr Tonks said organisers were expecting up to 4,000 people to attend but hoped future festivals could attract 10,000 added: "I think community festivals are really valuable because in these challenging times, they bring people together."Not only to feast but actually to kind of host something in their own town and be really proud of it. These are the kind of things that we need in our society today."
