How deep is the hole?

If she's still breathing, there's hope. Clean the wound and assess the situation.

Keep the silkie warm and dry, and quiet... separate into its own kennel/box/cage... and keep an eye on it. It may pull out of it, but if there are other injuries you can't see, then moving it around too much may cause more problems. Keep the wound clean and clear, and watch for infection, but based on personal experience it will be ok.
