Ideally Daphne would see a veterinarian but in the mean time I would recommend going to a petstore and getting an Elizabethan collar so she cannot scratch at it. The more she scratches at it the worse she will make it. If it gets worse I recommend an emergency veterinarian. Otherwise make an appointment with your veterinarian when they open.
