Wash it with salt water and pop some wound powder on it to dry it up, don't bandage it, let the air get to it. You might want
to get her to the vet on Monday and he'll clip it back for you.
 
dogs quite regularly catch their dew claws, i agree with the others, just bathe it with salt water (teaspoon salt in half pint water) then rinse with plain water as the salt can irritate the skin.
