Fresno State mascot Victor E. Bulldog II died from a bee sting Thursday. <br /><br />"He was the face of Fresno State in so many ways. He was the guy who loved coming to big games. He was a dog that knew when it was a big event and he loved people," Paul Ladwig with Fresno State Athletics said. <br /><br />The dog was introduced in 2012 after Victor E. Bulldog I passed away. <br /><br />Veterinarians says the nearly three-year-old pup died immediately from a bee sting after being let outside around noon. <br /><br />"Dr. Weaver had just gone out to move her trash cans and literally came back within a minute and a half or two minutes and he was already in full blown shock," Dr. Chris Dobbins with Fresno Pet ER said. <br /><br />Victor E. Has had bad reactions to bees in the past. So many that his caretaker Dr. Kelly Weaver has medication to treat him for his bee allergy. <br /><br />"We want to make sure people take that kind of condition seriously and don’t think oh I can wait till morning if he’s still vomiting by then or he’s not perked up. They need to get treated immediately," Dobbins said. <br /><br />With spring conditions, bees are rampant and it is common for dogs to get stung. Fresno Pet ER has been seeing two cases of anaphylactic shock a day. <br /><br />Rudy Rendon’s dog ‘Allie’ was one of those patients Tuesday. <br /><br />"Within half an hour she had thrown up and I realized her face was really really swollen," Rendon said. <br /><br />Allie was given an antihistamine and was treated over night. She is recovering. <br /><br />When Rendon heard the news about Victor E. Passing, he realized how close he was to losing his dog. <br /><br />"I’ve gone out there both times to make sure she doesn’t get into anything that could get her into trouble again. Especially with spring now there’s just bees everywhere," Rendon said. <br /></div>
