It is honestly best to leave this alone. It will heal just fine on it's own. Ears are very vascular (lots of blood supply) so the more you mess with it the more likely it is to bleed. If it keeps bleeding it will not heal. Just leave it alone. If she is trying to scratch it you will need to get her a cone to wear until the ear is completely healed. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/dog/dog-health-and-wellness/dog-ecollars/contech-procone-soft-recovery-collar Hope this helps. Best wishes.
