Hi and welcome to HCM. Thank you for the query.
You should clean this wound first and cover with sterile gauze,Wounds should be kept elevated and- if there is unknown immunisation status of this dog,she should visit doctor and have this wound examined and then further therapy can be planned. but risk of rabies is generally very low nad you dont have to be cocnerned.
WIsh you good health. Regards
