Hello.
It sounds to me like you may have hit the gall bladder just under the liver. This would most probably damage the liver enough to kill her, but she could go a ways. How long did you look for her? Did you push her right away?

shoot again if the opportunity presents itself! You have made a hit that is more then likely going to kill the animal, if they hesitate and you have a clear shot, maybe not a close one but clear, its worth taking another!
