It looks as if Bobby has sustained some type of injury to her leg. But based on photos alone I can not determine what caused the injury. If Bobby is still walking abnormally then I recommend that you take her in to be examined by your veterinarian. She may just have a superficial (skin) injury but it could be an injury involving the bones/joint. Your vet may recommend doing X-rays to better assess the legs. I hope this helps.
