ROSCOE HAMILTON’S trainer Kirstin McMillan has offered a health update on Lewis’ beloved bulldog.
Earlier this week, the Ferrari star revealed that Roscoe’s heart had stopped after he was hit with a second bout of pneumonia.
Vets subsequently managed to get Roscoe’s heart beating again, although he is now in a coma.
When Hamilton has to leave his beloved pooch behind while competing all over the world, he is looked after by trainer McMillan.
Updating fans, the American wrote on her Instagram story: “The overwhelming outpouring of love & energy for Roscoe is astonishing.
“You’ll forgive me for consciously choosing to let the DM’s overflow at the moment. I’m keeping my attention & intention on a healthy & healed Roscoe.
“Social can be such a powerful siphon of energy and at moment, this energy feels like a hugely important resource as I walk thru this with Dads for the most precious broccoli chomping boy.
“Problems arise in life. This one was unexpected & felt sudden. It’s taken me a moment to get my bearings. I know you guys have gone thru really difficult plot twists in your lives as well bc you’ve shared with me. Please know I’m not ignoring you. I’m holding focus.
“You can’t solve the problem at the level of the problem. I am that friend who has a conversation going with God in my heart literally all day long.
“During a crisis, that conversation continues but I quiet out everything else possible, just so I can hear that small sacred voice inside better.
“You guys already know Roscoe is getting a lot of care & everything needs to go right You do all the right things & then turn it over to the Most High. I know many of you are praying for Roscoe. I’m praying for Roscoe too.
“My uncle taught me something really beautiful about prayer a long time ago. He told me when I pray, don’t pray like a beggar- all desperate & pleading. He said: when we pray, we pray from victory. This one thing changed how I pray more than anything else.
“I have no control over outcome, but have fervently done my part so that this dogs body has been kept strong & resilient. In crisis, he is prepared.
“That’s bc as you guys know Lewis has always made his health priority. Pray that the hands & hearts of the doctors are guided, resourced & pure. This dog has a consistent history of resilience.
“Strong bodies know how to heal once obstacles are removed. I’m keeping my vibe high (it’s a repetitive process at moment) be higher hearts bring the medicine we need right now. Hold space from Victory.”
Popular pooch Roscoe has 1.3 million Instagram followers.
Earlier this week, Hamilton missed a Pirelli tyre test in Italy in order to be by his poorly companion’s side.
‘STRUGGLING TO BREATHE’
Posting a picture of Roscoe, the seven-time world champion wrote: “Please keep Roscoe in your thoughts. I want to keep you all updated.
“Roscoe caught pneumonia again and was struggling to breathe.
“He was admitted into hospital and sedated to calm him while they did checks on him and during the process his heart stopped.
“They managed to get a heartbeat back and now he’s in a coma.”
Hamilton worrying added: “We don’t know whether he will wake from this.
“Tomorrow we’ll try to wake him up.
“I’m by his side and want to thank you all for your prayers and support.”
Hamilton is due to be back in action at next week’s Singapore Grand Prix.
The 40-year-old is sixth in the F1 driver standings.
