I would recommend to take her to your local veterinarian for a check up as the claw must be removed and the skin part must be disinfected. Antibiotics may be needed if the are signs of more widespread infection. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
