Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! With out seeing a picture or examining Bonnie I can't be 100% sure. If you are talking about her mouth I am sure she is fine as long as it isn't swollen and she is eating and acting normal. If it becomes swollen or persists then take her to your Vet to have her examined. I hope this helps and good luck!
