Poor Boo! This needs to be checked out by a vet to have it diagnosed and treated. I'd take her into a vet in the morning. Put a cone on her tonight to keep her from chewing more. If you don't have one already, you can make one at home and I will put a link below on how to do it. I hope this helps! http://dogsaholic.com/care/homemade-dog-cone.html
