The affidavit states the Clark County Dog Warden was called to Nicholson’s home on Folk Ream Road in March for a complaint of two dogs living in poor conditions.
The warden found both of the dogs severely dehydrated and emaciated. They were taken from Nicholson’s home to Northside Veterinary Clinic for treatment, according to the affidavit.
The vet’s office said Mya only weighed half of what a healthy dog her age should weigh, and she had “a large bleeding mass” that was the size of a grapefruit hanging from her stomach.
