Britney Spears saw on her 42nd birthday this week at the home of her manager and best pal Cade Hudson in Los Angeles.

She marked the special occasion with a small group of intimates including her brother Bryan Spears, who is four years her senior.

However the festivities appear to have been interrupted, as at one point she, Cade and Bryan were spotted emerging from the house late at night.

Her newly adopted puppy Snow suffered a medical emergency and had to be taken to a 24-hour veterinary clinic at around 2am.

The next afternoon, Britney fired up her Instagram and issued a statement assuring fans they had no need to ‘worry about Snow she’s fine…I went to the emergency vet in the middle of the night with Cade’s shoes and clothes in a hurry …’

It has been sensationally claimed that one of her dogs suffered a medical emergency and had to be taken to a 24-hour veterinary clinic at around 2am

Referring to the pictures that surfaced of the vet trip, she joked: ‘I literally look like the girl in All Dogs Go To Heaven dressed up like a man being told to place bets !!!’

Cade, Bryan and Britney were spotted leaving the former’s house in a car that was then seen parked outside of a 24-hour veterinary clinic.

The dog was not visible in any pictures from the scene, but a photographer in situ insisted to TMZ that it was in fact in the vehicle with Britney.

Over the course of the night, Britney and Cade were also spotted stopping off at a gas station mini-mart to pick up a few snacks.

Their outing was evidently a spur-of-the-moment decision, based on the fact Cade was barefoot and wearing what looked like pajamas.

Britney was similarly casually attired, with a red flannel shirt thrown over a dressed-down ensemble that included loose striped trousers.

She obscured her face with a large pair of shades and wore what appeared to be an expression of concern while spotted out that night.

Britney walked out of the mini-mart ahead of Cade, who carried a plastic shopping bag bulging with items purchased at the convenience store.

By the next morning, Britney and Cade appeared to be in brighter spirits, judging by an Instagram video of the pair of them dancing around together.

Britney was decked out in a sparkling, skintight peekaboo cocktail dress as she pranced around with Cade, who was shirtless.

However, less than two hours after she uploaded the celebratory video online, it had vanished from her Instagram page.

Her latest sighting comes a little over three months after Britney and her estranged husband Sam Asghari reached a custody deal over their five dogs.

Four of the pets have been delivered into Britney’s sole custody, while the remaining one has been given to Sam, according to TMZ.

Around the time that the arrangement went public, Britney announced on Instagram that she had  adopted a new white puppy called Snow.

Sam filed for divorce from Britney in August after just 14 months of marriage, though the wedding was preceded by a long relationship dating back to 2016.

Ever since news broke of their split, a series of nasty allegations has bubbled up into the public square, including that Sam accused Britney of cheating on him.

Meanwhile, a source told DailyMail.com that Britney suspected Sam of having colluded with her father Jamie in his controversial conservatorship of her.

‘Britney has reason to believe that Sam was secretly working with her dad Jamie since early on in their relationship,’ the source told DailyMail.com.

‘Sam would supply information to Jamie that would help to keep her locked in the conservatorship. In exchange, Sam was given access to her and her money. Britney now feels like Sam was being deceitful all along.’

However, their recent equation appears to be amicable, with Sam showering praise on Britney for her bestselling new memoir The Woman In Me.

Bryan is said to have kept Britney company from time to time as she copes with the fallout of her latest failed marriage, per TMZ.

Two years ago, a report in TMZ alleged that Britney’s housekeeper had taken two of her dogs on an emergency trip to the veterinarian.

It was astonishingly claimed that the dogs had fallen so sick from nutritional issues that the housekeeper was in fear for their lives.

Both pets were said to be dehydrated, and one of them – who purportedly already had digestive problems – was alleged to have fallen ill from being fed table scraps.

After the visit to the veterinarian, the dogs reportedly wound up briefly staying with Britney’s dog sitter before being returned to their owner.

The report surfaced when Britney was still locked in a legal battle to be released from her conservatorship – and it was claimed that she believed the housekeeper had connived with Jamie to take her dogs away from her.

Britney’s 42nd birthday draws the curtain on a whirlwind year, one that in its final months included a media frenzy over her shocking memoir.

Bryan appeared at one point in the evening to be having a serious conversation with one of the people inside the car

Her book took aim at such targets as her ex Justin Timberlake, her parents and her sister Jamie Lynn, whom she wrote was a ‘total b****’ at the age of 11

The Woman In Me contains a particularly scathing portrayal of her romance with Justin, whom she claimed got her pregnant and then persuaded her to have an abortion

Within the pages of the memoir, Britney also accused her parents Jamie and Lynne of having thrown out her childhood dolls and journals

Her book took aim at such targets as her ex Justin Timberlake, her parents and her sister Jamie Lynn, whom she wrote was a ‘total b****’ at the age of 11.

The Woman In Me contains a particularly scathing portrayal of her romance with Justin, whom she claimed got her pregnant and then persuaded her to have an abortion because he ‘wasn’t ready’ to be a father.

Within the pages of the memoir, Britney also accused her parents Jamie and Lynne of having thrown out her childhood dolls and journals.

She described her Madame Alexander dolls as having been particularly important to her, as one of the few luxuries in her financially strapped childhood.

Britney said her parents got rid of her ‘prized possessions,’ like the dolls and diaries , back in 2019 when she had just been treated for her mental health and was still in the grip of her father’s conservatorship.

After being freed from the conservatorship in 2021, Britney furiously accused her mother of having been the ‘mastermind’ of the arrangement.

Although their tensions appear to have cooled since then, Britney still took aim at her mother in the memoir, saying Lynne was party to disposing of the dolls.

‘I’m not sure who told you I got rid of your dolls and journals but I would never do that!’ Lynne retorted on her Instagram page last month.

‘That would be cruel because I know how much they mean to you. They are special to me too because of the years we spent collecting them. Of course I still have your things, and I am happy to send them to you if you’d like me to. Please let me know and know how much I love you!’

Shortly thereafter, in a postscript to the caption of a post about Taylor Swift, Britney issued an eye-catching reply to her mother’s entreaty.

‘Ps mom I love you so so much, but there were 3 dolls in the cabinets when I went home 2 years ago … kinda really weird you would take them out and then put them back in … so messed up,’ wrote Britney. ‘Nope, I don’t want them. Keep it all. I honestly don’t care anymore … honestly though.’
