Unfortunately yes, she could injury it again. There are other causes of injury as well. I recommend to play it safe and have her examined by the veterinarian. The may need to radiograph the legs to check the surgery site. I hope it's nothing too serious. Go ahead and significantly restrict her activity (no walks, running, jumping, stairs) until she gets examined by the veterinarian.
