Hello. It is difficult to say what might be going on with Bella, but one thing that comes to mind is a possible luxating patella, essentially, her kneecap pops out of place. She may outgrow this, or she may require surgery if it continues to bother her. Make sure you point out this behavior to your vet at her next set of vaccinations.
