she is most likely being aggressive because she is in pain. is she bleeding? if so you need to stop the bleeding using styptic powder. i think i heard of using corn starch or someting like that too. i also read in my veterinary technology book that you can use dish soap. though i never heard of that before and am guessing it might sting. if she is losing alot of blood you should take her to the vet. sometimes it is very hard to get the bleeding to stop. hope i helped a bit. keep us posted on how she is doing.

there is this stuff you can buy at most pet stores called quick stop. and try to keep her from climing and making it worse. you should also soak her to clean it out.
