The short answer is yes, you could butcher her. Not much different than a wounded game animal. The better question, is do you want to at this time ? If an animal attacked her then her adrenaline has been up, she is in pain . Her meat will be affected by that. If she is getting up , drinking , eating, and pooping then maybe... she is not as bad off as it looks ? Does she have a wallow to soak in ? If you do give her antibiotics then you need to wait 30 days before butchering.By then she would be over the adrenaline rush and the pain will have moderated. But if you give her some care and if necessary a few shots of antibiotic , she may get to grow up to butcher size.
By the way... How old are these pigs ? How many do you have ? Are they free range and vulnerable to predators ?
