Jeremy Clarkson flooded with support after devastating family update

Jeremy has recently opened up on his own health battle Jeremy Clarkson has shared an emotional update as his dog was taken to the vet yesterday, October 20, with a serious and potentially life threatening condition which meant surgery was needed. Captioning an Instagram post, the former Top Gear star said: " The poor thing is under the knife as we speak. She has pyometra.

S**t week." According to the PDSA, "Pyometra is a womb infection - a very serious condition that's common in unneutered female dogs. Treatment for a pyometra usually includes emergency surgery to remove the womb, a fluid drip, and medication.



" The announcement comes after Jeremy Clarkson revealed he underwent a heart procedure after experiencing a "sudden deterioration of health" The 64-year-old former Top Gear host, who currently presents Clarkson’s Farm on Prime Video, spoke in his column in The Sunday Times about what he called the “wearisome effects of growing old”. Clarkson detailed how a swim while on holiday in the Indian Ocean appeared to cause him difficulties using the stairs, which when he returned home meant a “sudden deterioration began to gather pace”. After going to see a doctor a heart attack was ruled out after he had an electrocardiogram (ECG), blood tests and X-rays.

He said he then went to an “operating theatre”, after further checks, and doctors said he was perhaps “days away” from getting very ill. He said a stent, which can save lives and stop future heart attacks through improving blood flow to the heart, was fitted in around two hours. Fans of the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire host have rushed to the picture uploaded of his dog with well wishes.

One fan commented: "I'm really sorry, I hope she recovers" another added "Here's hoping all goes well and she's back running in the fields soon." Other heartfelt comments added included: "Oh bless her, my dog had this last year. She was nearly nine and recovered well.

Speedy recovery" and "really hope she will be ok. Sorry you are having such a horrible week.".
