Oh my goodness. I don't know why you would think a vet wouldn't help you. That is what vets are for. Burns are serious and should be treated immediately if you want to give her the best chance at making a full recovery. There is nothing we can tell you to do over the internet except take her to a vet. She needs antibiotics, anti-inflammatories and pain medicine. Burns are VERY painful.... She may also need special burn cream to put on the wounds. I don't recommend you give her any medications without talking to your vet first.
