You need to take CoCo into a vet immediately. Given how small and young she is and how big the dog is that attacked her, she could easily have internal injuries. In addition, she is likely in pain and there are no OTC pain medications you can give. Many human ones are toxic to dogs and can be fatal if given. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website. Best of luck!
