We were told that Nala had a long-term veterinary check-up prior to her trip to NY and was deemed fit and healthy. That's why her sudden death was so shocking to Nicola.
According to sources, Nicola and her husband Brooklyn Beckham, I have been a customer of your grooming company with no prior issues… I occasionally use this groomer while I am in town with my family.
But this time there were a lot of red flags… Several dogs were acting strangely after the groomer's service on June 14th. We were told the dogs were put down one by one as the groomer's van was stationed near the property. . According to sources, Nala was the last to return and was in very bad condition.
While Nala was gasping for air with her blue tongue, Nicola rushed the Chihuahua to the emergency vet, but she died hours later. We were told that according to the vet’s records, Nala had fluid in her lungs, a slow heart rate and neurological problems before she died.
Nala had no underlying health conditions, so there was no reason for her to die from simple care… That's why Nicola is taking legal action. The actress' legal revenge has nothing to do with money… rather, she wants to prevent similar tragedies.
