Gemma Atkinson gives sweet update after suffering scare with beloved dog

Gemma Atkinson has shared a sweet update after suffering a health scare with her beloved dog.

As well as being proud mum to daughter Mia, the Hits Radio presenter is a 'dog mum' to her two pooches Norman and Ollie.

And Gemma was left worried this week when her mum had to rush Ollie to the emergency vets.

The Emmerdale and Hollyoaks star took to Instagram on Thursday to talk to her followers about the scare.

She said she hadn't slept very well before continuing: "Ollie Bollie spent the night in the emergency vets yesterday, bless him.

"He became really, really ill yesterday and my mum took him to the vets and she texted me at the radio to say they were sending him to the emergency 24 hour vets because they thought it had pancreatitis which can be fatal in dogs if not caught.

"He was just violently sick and he wasn't himself, wasn't moving very well."

Gemma went on to say that the vets had told her had responded really well to treatment and may have been able to come home on Thursday night.

The 37-year-old then asked her followers if anyone else's dogs had suffered from the same issue and asked "what did you do?"

She then shared a message thanking fans for their 'hundreds' of messages.

And by Thursday evening, Gemma was able to offer a positive update.

She shared a video of herself stroking Ollie who was back relaxing at home.

"He's home.. thank you for all your messages," she wrote across the clp that featured the song 'I Get to Love You by Ruelle.

But the sweetest moment came afterward when Gemma shared a clip of Ollie next to a card which had been made by Gemma's daughter Mia, who she shares with Strictly Come Dancing star Gorka Marquez.

The front of the paper card featured paw prints which has been decorated with glitter and 'woof' written across the page.

Inside, a message had been written which said: "To my Ollie doggy... Get better soon."

She ended with: "Love Mia," and a kiss.

"Mia came home from nursery with this," Gemma wrote alongside a heart and an emoji showing a tearful face.

On Friday morning, Gemma returned to Instagram with another update.

"Thank you for all your messages about Ollie..." she began alongside a picture of her pooch curled up with patches of fur shaved off.

She laughed as she said he looked like he had a 'bad hair cut' but said he had a 'good first night' and is still very 'out of it'.

"So far though, he's on the mend," Gemma added as she thanked fans once again for all their messages.
