Make sure to treat her as always, no better and certainly no worse than usual.

Other than that, keep an eye on things to spot any signs of inflamation or soreness. The vulva will swell and bleed lightly(occassionally) but there shouldn't be any puss or other visible discharge.

Discourage too much licking.

If in doubt, see your vet.
