Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. If the wound is small and the bleeding is a small amount, I would make sure that you keep the area clean with saline or a betadine / water solution (mixed together so that you have a light brown solution) and monitor for signs of infection (swelling, redness or pus). If the area worsens I would recommend getting her to a veterinarian if possible for further treatment. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
