The area around the wound look swollen and there is a draining tract. Often that means there is an abnormal object under the skin causing an infection (like a grassawn or parasite. I think you need to have Dixie to a vet for an exam. She will, at the very least, need antibiotics but surgery may also be needed to explore the wound.
