Glad to hear they are safe and sound.As for the cause I think it's possible that she ran into a bear.She might have got close enough to get slapped or just plowed over and took a blow to the side and collapsed the lung.Doesn't have to get cut by claws or bit.
I've had several dogs that we ran hogs with have the same thing.The hog can cut them with cutters but they don't always connect with the cutter.Hogs would throw their head at the dogs and flip them.Dog would yelp and coming running back.I think at least twice I remember.No wild hogs there but there are bears.
We ran into two bears this season in Minn. one a cub which was no threat and ended up being orphaned.The other was holed up in a deadfall either wounded or possibly working on a den.Luckily we were close and got the dog away before any conflict.
Good luck and again glad to hear the outcome.
