I would talk to your veterinarian about a possible knee cap luxation. This can happen in dogs and they will limp for a few minutes/seconds and then be fine. Nothing is typically done with them unless they are causing an issue. It is something that I would have an examination done on her although it isn't an emergency and you can wait until your regular veterinarian opens tomorrow morning.
