First, you need to try to calm down. Relax, breathe. I know it's scary, but panicking won't help. Can you give more details? Pictures? That way people will be able to help. :hugs
 
I'm no expert, but from what I've read here from others experiencing predator attacks you need to immediately treat for shock. You can warm one cup of water and add 1 teaspoon of sugar with a pinch of salt and a pinch of baking soda. Mix it. Get her to drink some by putting her beak to it. If she refuses to drink, you may have to place a couple of drops on her beak or in her mouth. Not too much at one time.
Remove her from the flock so you can inspect the wounds / injuries. You will want to clean them with saline solution or Hibiclens and apply triple antibiotic without pain relief (chickens cannot handle the pain relief in the cream). Keep her warm and quiet. Can you bring her in your house and place her in a crate to keep her calm and quiet and monitor her more closely?

In the interim, take some pictures and post here so the experts can help you. You might want to update your subject line to include something that indicates the severity of the situation to get faster responses, i.e., predator attack, etc. "please help" isn't descriptive enough. Good luck with her.

What is her breed, how old and what have you been feeding her and what exactly transpired are some questions you will need to answer to provide more detail.

I'll try to find other threads or links to help you.
 
I see you found the other thread on the fox attack from 2009. A lot of great information there. Best of luck with your girl.
