Stacey Solomon has revealed the heartbreaking news that she could lose a beloved family member in the coming days.

The star, 35, took to Instagram to reveal that her dog, Teddy, fell unwell on Thursday as a result of a predisposed condition the family were not aware of.

She explained that the next few days are crucial for the pooch, and even if the rescue dog survives, ‘he may not fully recover.’ 

Alongside two pictures of herself with Teddy, a cocker spaniel, Stacey wrote: ‘We are praying and hoping so hard that he pulls through [and] that we can care for him in the best way we possibly can to give him the best life he can have. 

‘We are all truly devastated. He is the sweetest, most protective, loving dog. 

‘He’s our family. And far too young to be going through this.’

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.’

Fans were quick to flood the post with supportive comments.

They wrote: ‘Poor little fella. Hope Teddy recovers, it is just awful seeing our beloved pets so poorly. Sending love to you all.;

‘Wishing Teddy the best recovery.’;

‘Oh no hoping he [makes] a good recovery.’ 

Fans were quick to flood the post with supportive comments, wishing Teddy a recovery from his undisclosed illness

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.’

Although Teddy’s health condition has not been disclosed, he 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 that his treatment is ongoing.
