I would monitor Bella and if the area begins to swell, she starts limping again, or she seems painful, bring her to a vet right away. Broken toes may have minimal swelling or pain but still might need care from your veterinarian depending on the injury. Keeping any scrapes clean and dry to prevent infection is also a good idea.
