Aw I'm sorry to hear about Orio's issue! If the lesion in the mouth is related to cancer then putting Orio to sleep may be the best option. Oral cancer in cats can progress quickly and lead to chronic pain. If cancer is suspected you could seek a consultation with a veterinary oncologist to see if there are any treatments that may help Orio. If the bleeding is due to dental infection then it can probably be fixed with dental surgery. If you can post a picture or more information about the case the we may be able to help you further. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I hope A solution can be found for Orio that will reduce his pain.
