Hopefully a two week rest will be all she needs and it isn't an ACL tear.

I'll hope and pray that she mends quickly and completely.

im glad to hear your pup is ok... can someone please tell me what an ACL tear is and how you realized she needed to go to the vet? Bella has been lifting up her back leg when she walks and runs like its bothering her..

She probably has luxating patellas. I would get her checked out by your vet so you know for sure. If it is something else like an ACL or cruciate ligament injury, or something like legg calve perthes, she needs to be treated quickly before serious damage occurs.
