By now, she's either recovered or died. Sorry, I'm not good about keeping up with this board.

We find that rinsing injuries immediately with diluted Betadine helps. After that, we can see what we have to deal with. If it's minor, we just keep it cleaned with the betadine, if it's more than I feel I can deal with, it's off to the vet.
