Oh no! So sorry to hear this happened. If she is acting normally, eating and drinking, etc. then I don't think it is imperative to take her to the vet. Just monitor her closely for any signs of illness and definitely take her in if that happens. As for the marks on her, you can use this spray on them if you want to but they aren't actually abrasions as the skin appears intact. It is only where the feathers have been removed and the should grow back with no issues. Hope this helps! https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/vetericyn-plus-antimicrobial-wound-and-skin-hydrogel-for-pets
