My question: The bathroom door was slight open she opened the door and went in and then she was playing with gutter in bathroom and my mum saw her half body inside the gutter she fastly took her out but will she be affected by germs or bacteria ? Your answer: Oh my goodness! Poor Nancy! No, she should be fine. I doubt that she will be affected by any germs or bacteria. Good question What to do? Should i ask her vet ?

I really don't think you need to do anything. If she is acting fine and seems normal there is nothing you have to do. If you want to bathe her, you can but she should not have any ill after effects. If you want to call her vet you are welcome to do so.
