After assessment if they have any wounds please wash them out. I doubt you have sterile saline on hand but tap water does just fine too.

Next step is a topical triple antibiotic cream, if your vet is open tomorrow and you see deep wound beds call the vet's office and ask them for a chlorhexadine flush(its cheap) to give the wound bed a good irrigation in the morning to prevent infection from foreign bodies or just general dog tooth gunkiness.

After flushing depending on the depth of the wound channel that will determine a next step. Flushing it out will also help us to help you determine the severity of the injury, I wouldn't flush into a lung cavity however just into obvious muscular skeletal tissue.

Just my 2 cents on how I would react and I hope this is helpful.

After flushing top off with a triple antibiotic ointment once again.
 
Final thoughts take a deep breath they are still alive! You haven't lost your little fighters yet :celebrate I think that suggests that their injurses as bad as they may seem right now aren't as bad as you are imagining. They survived the "Golden Hour" from point of injury, are getting the care they require. So stiff upper lip you are going to soldier through this provided secondary infection can be prevented!

Photo # one irrigate and use antibiotic ointment, and a clean towell to keep warm overnight. The white one doesn't look so bad provided neither have broken bones I have already seen worse that recovered. Actually both need a nice warm 80 degree overnight rest IMO. Just let them sleep after you finish your work #1 looks to have a puncture wound I would do a chlorhexadine flush on just under that right wing.

I mostly looks like the dogs mostly dry plucked them. Feathers will grow back.

The white one appears to have a through and through bite channel between her wings that will require a chlorhexadine flush 2x daily until the wound channel closes and no longer flushes.

All opinions expressed are my own.
