If her breathing is affected you should try and get an emergency vet appointment. They can go downhill very quickly.

Hi and welcome

I am ever so sorry about the accident.

Please contact an out-of-hours clinic for advice and if needed an examination.

There could be an injury you can't see. I'd get her checked by a vet just to make sure.
