Another question that I have is, is it bad having a pup with ticks insdoors ? I been taking the ticks off but I'm not sure if I should still keep her inside shes 2 months .

You could soak the paw in a warm Epsom salt solution and see if that help it to heal. She may need an antibiotic to prevent an infection so she may need to be examined by a vet, especially if the cut does not heal or you notice any swelling or discharge. If she has ticks than she should be treated with a flea and tick prevention, like NexGard, Frontline, Revolution, etc.
