Jezza underwent life-saving heart surgery after experiencing a number of worrying symptoms.
The Sun columnist said he was alerted to changes in his health while on holiday after he struggled to walk up the stairs following an “attempt” at swimming.
Now, just hours after bravely discussing his recent medical ordeal, the star confirmed that he had been issued with some even more worrying news.
Jeremy took to Instagram to reveal that one of beloved dogs was currently “under the knife” after contracting a life-threatening condition of their own.
His dog is suffering from pyometra – a serious and often life-threatening infection of the uterus which causes bacteria in the dog.
Sharing a snap of the pooch, Jezza wrote online: “The poor thing is under the knife as we speak. She has pyometra. S**t week.”
Sending well-wishes, many of the TV presenter’s followers sent heart-warming messages of support.
One said: “I’m really sorry, I hope she recovers.”
Another added: “Aw it’s always a massive worry but hopefully surgery is successful and she will make such a quick recovery, they bounce back much quicker than humans.”
Before a third shared: “Wishing your doggo a speedy recovery.”
It is the latest blow for Jeremy amid his own health worries.
He recently spoke in his Sunday Times column about seeking emergency medical care after being left “clammy” and suffering with “tightness in my chest”, and “pins and needles in my left arm”.
Jeremy told how an ambulance rushed him to Oxford’s John Radcliffe Hospital where tests ruled out a heart attack.
However, further examinations revealed one artery was fully blocked and another was nearly blocked, putting him at serious risk.

Clarkson’s Farm airs on Prime Video and follows TV personality Jeremy Clarkson as he manages his Diddly Squat Farm in the Cotswolds.
Three series have been released to date and here is an overview of what has happened so far.
Series 1
- Jeremy takes over the day-to-day running of the newly renamed Diddly Squat Farm.
- Lisa Hogan, Kaleb Cooper, “Cheerful Charlie” Ireland and Gerald Cooper are also introduced.
- Jeremy starts to assemble what he needs for his farm – as well as laying the groundwork for things to come later.
- He buys key equipment including a tractor and cultivator, as well as taking on sheep and opening a farm shop.
- Jeremy takes over the day-to-day running of the newly renamed Diddly Squat Farm.
Series 2
- This series sees Jeremy look for ways to increase the farm’s revenue.
- One such example is bringing in a herd of cows although this isn’t without its issues.
- Jeremy also had the idea to convert the abandoned lambing barn into a restaurant where he could sell his meat from the farm.
- For this plan to move forward, he had to get planning permission from the local council.
- Viewers also meet Pepper, a heifer among the herd who ultimately becomes the star’s favourite.
Series 3
- The third series contained some of the show’s most emotional moments to date.
- In heartbreaking scenes, dozens of newborn piglets died as a result of overlaying – their mother rolling on to them.
- Jeremy said goodbye to his favourite pig – the Baroness – after she developed cancer and needed to be put down.
- Dry stonewall expert and “head of security” Gerald Cooper was diagnosed with cancer.
- Jeremy and Kaleb began a competition between themselves – with Kaleb looking after the arable side and Jeremy taking the non-arable elements.
- Fellow farmers – and famous faces – Andy Cato and George Lamb appear in this series
The Who Wants To Be A Millionaire host said he was then taken to surgery for urgent treatment.
A stent was inserted into the blocked artery to keep it open and restore blood flow to the heart.
He wrote: “It wasn’t especially painful. Just odd,” and said he thought at the time, “Crikey, that was close.”
The TV star previously said he is worried about his health and admitted: “I don’t have long left”.
He said in an interview with The Guardian in April: “I don’t have long. I’ve probably only got what, 70,000 hours left, maybe?”
He also shared his fears over developing dementia, telling The Times his “memory is shot” and his hearing loss “doubled his chance” of getting the disease.
