My dog was spayed a week ago and had the cone removed briefly due to stress. She licked her scab, causing redness and slight bleeding. I've put the cone back on. What should I do to prevent infection and ensure proper healing? Is there a risk of needing another surgery if the incision is compromised?

My dog may have eaten mouse poison. The missing portion is about pea size, and there has been no vomiting. The dog is a beagle, shepherd, and pit mix, about 5 months old, and weighs 17 pounds. The poison is D-con, a calcium mobilizer. Should we induce vomiting?
