Bingo the Dog Died from a Rare and Fatal Disease
Bingo the dog died from a rare and fatal disease. Bingo was diagnosed with a tumor on his neck in early February, and quickly lost weight and strength.
By the time he was taken to the vet, Bingo had lost so much blood that he almost couldn’t breathe. The vet did everything possible to save him, but Bingo succumbed to his disease on March 5th.
Bingo’s tumor was most likely caused by a mutation in his BRCA1 gene, which is linked to an increased risk of breast cancer. Bingo’s owners may have been able to reduce their dog’s risk of developing cancer by getting him tested for the gene mutations.
However, even without the mutation, Bingo still had a high risk of developing cancer because of his breed and age.
While it is very sad that Bingo died from a disease that could have been prevented, his story serves as a reminder that dogs can still provide years of happiness and companionship if they are taken care of properly.
