hi! My poor dog has a external fixator in her back left leg at the moment and she has chewed off the bandages covering the nuts and bolts on it, is there anything we should do?

Poor Dolores! Ideally you should put a buster collar on her to avoid any further chewing and keep the fixator away from dirt. I would recommend then to take her to your veterinarian as soon as you can to rebandage the ex fix appropriately. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation (where you can post pictures ) if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
