All females are a bit different. Some can take coming into season and/or getting bred in stride with no change in hunt or behavior. Others are a wreck when their hormones are in an uproar. Some won't hunt - just hang around at your feet - or just don't seem to be on top of their game. As long as she is eating and acting otherwise healthy, I wouldn't sweat it too much. If she's walking all tucked up or reluctant to move around at all, she may have injured herself running, a coincidence and nothing to do with her heat or being bred.
