Speaking on the latest episode of The Katie Price podcast, she said he was covered in unusual bumps and was distressed after coming inside from the garden.
Katie told her sister Sophie Price: “Well then one of them, Jerry came in and he started really crying and s*****g everywhere, running around.
“And only on one side of him it looked like humps on one side of him and he was breathing really heavy.
“So I called the breeder and said why is he doing this? Because she knows loads about them.
“Even though I called her, I said look I’ve got to take him to the vet.
“And she said yeah take him to the vet.”
Katie was shocked when she arrived at the vets only for Jerry to be back to his normal self.
“So I get there, and it’s like when you take kids to the doctors, took him out of the box and the humps had gone,” she explained.
“I drove him all the way down there, got there, undo the box, the humps had gone down, they checked his temperature and he was absolutely fine.”
Katie has come under fire for owning animals after many have died in her care.
Katie Price fans beg ‘somebody help her’ as her very slim legs spark concern
Last year she was branded a ‘serial killer’ by an animal rights charity.
One of her cats wandered off, as fans asked after her sphynxes in a live video.
She said: “No, the cats aren’t sick.
“Hagrid at my old house, he was like eight or nine. He just disappeared, didn’t come home one night.
“It’s really sad. They say cats wander off, don’t they, when they want to pop off.”
Last year she bought two more of the unique cats at £2k each, meaning she now has five.
She also told how she was forced to put down her last designer cat, Frog, after he fell ill.
In her memoir Katie wrote: “He had a neurological disease. There was absolutely nothing I could do.
“Within days it had spread through his body right to the point that he couldn’t even go to the toilet on his own.
“So I cuddled him in my arms and he had to be put to sleep. He was only five months old.”
The TV personality has had seven pets die in her care.
Charity People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) insists there needs to be an injunction stopping the mum-of-five from owning pets.
And PETA previously offered Katie £5,000 to stop buying pets – and Ingrid says the offer still stand
