Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! What you can do depends to some extent on how extensive or severe this is. You can use a towel to apply pressure on the wound. You can try to keep her as quiet as possible until you can have her evaluated by a veterinarian to avoid the injury getting worse. I highly recommend that you do have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment as soon as you are able to. Good luck!
