Hi there and thank you for your question! Until you can take Honey into see her veterinarian, I'd recommend keeping it clean and dry. Mild soap and water wash if needed. You can keep an ecollar on Honey if she is licking or chewing at her paw. The ecollar will help prevent her from bothering it further. I hope this helps and good luck at the vet's tomorrow!
