Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It sounds like Bella has an upper respiratory infection. I would watch for the start of a cough, nasal discharge that is yellow or green, lethargy, not eating or drinking, If non of those things happen it is likely the virus will run it's course. If any of those things occur then take her in for a recheck! I hope this helps and good luck!
