Oh my. Dog bite wounds need to be treated by a medical professional. I would highly recommend taking Drugs in to your local veterinarian right away for medical care and attention. She needs antibiotics and proper cleaning and possibly suturing of her wounds based on how deep and extensive they are.
Here is a financial assistance website that may be of assitance if needed.

Bset of luck and take care with your pet Drugs.

    This is a medical emergency, and your cat has to see a vet immediately. She needs veterinary attention if she is severely injured. 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.
