Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your question. Judging from the picture you provided, the paws do not look that red and I see no visible wounds. I would say that it should be ok to leave the bandages off. If she is licking / chewing at the paws, I would recommend using the plastic cone around her head to prevent her from licking them and worsening the condition further. 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.
