Hi,
Welcome to HCM!
If she is on warfarin, then she definitely needs attention at the earliest as the bleeding is unlikely to stop.
Also, she needs to take a Tetanus TT injection and anti-rabies as well.
Ensure the wound is properly cleaned. She might also take an antibiotic course to prevent infection locally.
Hope this information helps. Feel free to ask if you have any doubt.
With warm regards,
Dr. Sridhar Reddy
