My dog had a cast removed, but her nails were too long and cut her skin, leaving a wound. The vet advised putting a cone on her and letting it heal, but I'm concerned about the lack of antibiotics or bandaging. What can I do to help her heal and ensure she can walk without further injury?

She weighs 3 lbs, has no known medical problems, and has been given pyrantel pamoate 1/2 ml. What should I do to help her?
