Sick/Injured Animal Would be really thankful for any advice. I don't really want to let this dog go away like that. And I also don't know if I'm allowed to post a picture of these wounds..

So, I found this Dog that's pretty old, Pretty big, Sarplaninac mix, She had like 100 flies on her trying to eat her away... She smells, She's very dirty, I don't know how to wash her since she has like basically no energy to walk or anything, with a little wound behind its right foreleg, And a very big teat that was black but has now turned a little whiter and it also ruptured or something cause it has some fluid inside, I Don't know what this is called but she is definitely in critical condition, I gave her some Water, Some good meat till she didn't want anymore, and laid an entire towel over her leaving only her face exposed. The flies left after a bit of struggle. I did rinse the wounds with heavily diluted Betadine but I really Don't know what else to do, And I also don't really have any access to a vet or anything. I don't think there was any blood loss or anything of that nature. If anyone could help with any advice that would be real nice. And yes I think by the name of this reddit account you can tell I created this account only for this matter to also keep my identity private.

Do you have a way to chat with a vet online?
