Hi, welcome to BYC.
Soak it in warm water, gently pat dry, apply hydrogen peroxide, then apply some triple antibiotic salve (the kind with no pain killer), cover it with a self adhesive wrap to keep additional germs out of the wound. Repeat daily, but do not use the peroxide.
If the wound is very warm, I'd try to get her into see a vet. If that is the case, the infection may have spread and she will need oral antibiotics.
Good luck to you and Happy!
