Let the chick rest in a warm, quiet, dark area to get over the shock. Sugar/honey water with at little salt will help.

No bath,it will cause stress, if you want to add stuff to the water, that's fine but just let it rest and get through the shock.

Please post photos of the chick and wounds.

You left the chick where?
If she was lying in the rain, she needs to be dried completely to help prevent shock. A hair dryer set on low will help with the drying process.

Do not bath her.

Can you post a photo of the disinfectant that you used on the wounds? Cleaning the wound is very good. Once cleaned really well, apply something like Triple Antibiotic ointment on the wounds to help keep them moist.

Sugar water can be given to help level her out and get her through shock. Mix 1tsp sugar to 1cup warm water. Hold a shallow cup to her beak and see if she will drink for you.
