You need to give the snake some time to heal before trying to feed it.

So if I understand correctly, your dog chewed up your snake?
You have two options, a visit to the vet would be a good idea or leave it alone for a few weeks and see if it pulls through on it's own.

That sucks! Just keep her on clean paper towel and plenty of clean water. If she has open wounds use a bit of triple antibiotic. I wouldn't use the kind with the pain killer in it tho. If she is moving around find she should head. If you see she is having a hard time moving correctly you may want to take her a vet for x-rays, but if she has broken bones there is really nothing you can do.
Snakes are tough. She should heal up given time. Don't expect her to eat for a while, they will not eat while stressed. Just leeve her be for the most part, check on her to change paper and water regularly. AND secure that tub!!! escapes happen to everyone you and they make you learn really quick that a secure cage is very important.
Also you may want to use some Chlorohexidne to clean the wounds , you can buy it as Hibiclens mouth wash at cvs or walgreens
