We have a yearling filly that has gingivitis, as part of her treatment I am supposed to flush her gums twice daily with warm salt water. She was just fine while having her mouth examined, but when I went to flush her the first time, she acted like she was going to go down, it was as if she was dizzy and her legs started to buckle. If she wasn't up against the wall I think she would have gone down. I immediatley let go of her halter and she shook her head and came around. Has anyone ever had a foal faint? She has been fine with the flushing since, but this scared the day lights out of me.
