‘He was lying lifeless on the floor’: Teddy the Shetland beats life-threatening illness

Instagram sensation Teddy the Shetland is back on his feet after suffering life-threatening illness last week.

The two-year-old miniature Shetland, who boasts more than 90,000 Instagram followers, spent five days in the intensive care unit at Liphook Equine Hospital in Hampshire, returning home to owner Alice Goring on Sunday (6 May).

“He was fine last Monday morning, though seemed sluggish when I got him in from the field that evening,” eventer Alice told H&H. “But when I put his dinner down he took one look and turned around and flopped to the floor. We called the vet immediately — Teddy was just lying lifeless on the floor, and couldn’t lift his head up.”
