That's quite early for pregnancy to show any signs, so I would be inclined to think the lethargy could be due to something else other than pregnancy, such as an illness, especially if there was no tie. I would monitor Bella for now, and have her seen by a vet if the lethargy continues. I would also have her spayed. It's never recommended to mate a dog over five-six years of age due to the risks of pregnancy and whelping at an older age.
