it is a large open sore and sometimes it bleeds. She, recently this year, has had a problem with tapeworms and was severely underweight. Very close to death, and has been healed as far as i know from it and is still underweight. Im thinking the sore in her gum is why she is underweight now, it hurts when she eats. I just found out about the sore after riding her a couple of weeks ago. A friend of mine said it might be abcess and to try putting salt on it. Im really worried and wont to get that healed so she can get to her usual weight again. Any suggestions??? Please help! thank you!!

it's possible your hose caught her gum on something while eating. My first suggestion is search around and in your feeding bins for sharp objects that could have done it, my second suggestion is call a vet to make sure its not infected.
