My dog has been limping and I found a blister/sore underneath her paw with an open wound. I don't know what it is or what to do or how to treat it.

The foot will probably need to be bandaged with an antibiotic cream on the wound, if it looks badly infected she will also need a course of oral antibiotics. i would recommend t take Ellie to the vet to get it checked first.
