Ouch! If your vet is not open and the wound is very bad or painful, I would see if they have an emergency line you can call for an on-call vet or direction to an ER clinic near you. Otherwise, I would try to keep the wound as clean and dry as possible, stop any bleeding with pressure, and place an Elizabethan (cone) collar on Tonny until you can be seen by your vet in the morning.
