If she has an abscess than she will need an antibiotic to treat the infection. You clean the area with an antiseptic wound cleaner but it would be best if she saw a vet for an antibiotic. Depending on the abscess, she may need to be sedated and the abscess may need to be flushed and she also may need a drain to help with healing. Hope she gets better soon!
