Poor Cherokee Princess! I would apply gentle pressure to stop the bleeding, and then clean the sores with warm water and antiseptic soap. I would put an Ecollar on her to keep her from scratching at it. You can make one at home, and will give you a link to a website that details how to do that. In the morning, I would have her seen by a vet to have these sores examined and treated. http://dogsaholic.com/care/homemade-dog-cone.html
