I would recommend that you have Bella evaluated by the vet. Her extreme reaction to petting could have been another seizure or she could have some other neurologic problem. Dogs can develop epilepsy, and Bella is in the appropriate age range to have this diagnosis. After evaluation and medical history, your vet may recommend that she get started on medications to prevent seizures.
