Definitely follow ginger's advice!   Chihuahua pups often retain open fontanelle's ("soft spots") in the skull for many months.   Her injuries (from the bigger dog andn from the head trauma) should be checked out soon.

This is also a good time to get her started on her routine vaccinations and dewormings.

It would be best to take her to the vet because she is very young and the skull at that age is more fragile. Take her as soon as you can.
