Ouch, poor Bambi! Gently clean the wound with warm water and antiseptic soap. Keep your dog away from her, and have her rest quietly so the wound can heal. Monitor it, and if it becomes red, swollen, warm to the touch, or you see pus, then it's infected and she should see a vet right away for antibiotics. I hope this helps!
