It's possible Sally could be a bit constipated, ill, or have irritation/infection that is causing some swelling or discomfort. If she can't go potty at all, there is swelling/oozing of debris, or she seems in distress, it is a good idea to bring her to your vet for an exam. Otherwise, keeping everything clean and dry and making sure she is eating and drinking may help her stay comfortable.
