Boys will be boys!! Our little 6 wk. old took a nip at my daughter and left a smear of blood on her. I started checking him all over and found a small piece of his gum missing pulled away from over the top of his right front tooth, hanging by a thread. I'm assuming the way those boys play that he got popped in the chops.
My question is do I need to flush this or do anything with it?? I've never encountered a mouth sore before with the horses so I'm not sure of the risk of infection here. He's eating fine. My kids have had far worse and I rinse them out with warm salt water. Not sure how I'd get him to do that.
Any advice would be appreciated.
