Poor Biscuit! It is possible she is a little constipated. If it happens again, she has pain or swelling around the anus, can't go potty at all, or has any other signs of illness, a vet visit is best. Making sure she's drinking enough water and eating an appropriate diet, and also wormed regularly may also help.
