This may be a sign of pain either her hips or knees or tail or back end area. you can look for any redness or swelling around her rectum or under her tail. Make sure her tail moves well in all directions without causing pain. Monitor for any diarrhea, as straining can cause irritation. If she is walking well and still acting normally, you can try to get her to lay down and rest if that helps. If not, then she may need to seen by a vet to find the cause.
