Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is often a medical issue. I would be concerned that this may be due to something like intestinal parasites or colitis, among many other possibilities. I recommend that you have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They may be able to check for this possibility and treat her accordingly. Good luck!
