I would put an Ecollar on Sonu. That will keep her from licking at the wound and making it worse. I will put a link below on how to make one at home. She really should see a vet for this, as I would be concerned that the wound is infected and she needs antibiotics to heal it. Vets are trained to work with aggressive dogs, so that should not be a deterrent to bringing her into the vet. I'd take her in as soon as possible. Best of luck. http://dogsaholic.com/care/homemade-dog-cone.html
