You need to keep her warm and out of drafts. Make sur she keeps eating and drinking, they can go downhill very quickly. I would get her checked out by your vet as soon as possible. The breathing may be due to pain and or injuries. It may be possible that she has injured her wing or leg or may have some internal injuries. If she gets any worse I would take her an emergency clinic if you have one near by.
