Hello, I'd recommend taking Bella to her veterinarian for an exam and x-rays. Many dogs require sedation for x-rays, as stretching of the legs for the views can be uncomfortable. Images can help your veterinarian formulate the best treatment plan for her. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
