Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is not necessarily bad depending on the context it is happening. This could mean that Sally has some kind of discomfort for example though again it may be completely normal. What I would recommend is continuing to watch her closely. If she appears to be in any kind of discomfort or pain, I recommend that you have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Otherwise, she is likely going to be fine. Best of luck!
