Not sure how to treat this or how it happened. I think it was a ant bite

I would recommend taking Alaska to the veterinarian. It looks like she has been licking her paw a lot and this is probably making it worse. Your vet can provide anabiotic‘s and pain medication to help her and I would recommend having an E collar put on her so she doesn’t lick at it anymore. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
