Poor Tiny! I would be very concerned that she was attacked by a wild animal, and she should see a vet immediately. That's because wild animals carry diseases that can infect dogs, and she should have a booster of her rabies vaccine to be safe. In addition, she will need pain meds, and she should have her wounds treated. The vet can also check her over for internal injuries. Please bring her into a vet now.
