my mom WONT take her to the vet she dosent understand these things...i called them though and they said to do what i was doing and if it dosent clear up withing a few day or start to look better then she will need to be brought in

Yes, well if your mother won't let you then i know from experience that it's hard to change her mind but keep doing what you're doing, and also keep an eye on the wound. If you think it's swelling, or there's discharge coming out of it, she NEEDS a vet. Tell your mother it's really important that she goes, it could poison her internally. Hopefully, the wound will heal without an abcess forming, and i sincerely hope it does, just keep checking that she's OK

Ouch. That looks like a pretty open wound too. I'm no expert, but there's a chance that may need a stitch to stop stuff getting in that. Maybe it wouldn't be a good idea to keep her on wood shavings at the moment, but then, i don't really know what else you could put her on which would not get into that cut. Perhaps an old towel or a big piece of material? I still reckon that you should try your hardest to get your mother to take her to the vet, good luck.
