Snake with substrate sticking to vent ??

Hi, I’m new to this forum but I had a question I’d try and pose.

I have a blizzard cornsnake, I sure how old she is as she was a rescue from an odd situation. Last week she had an incident where she got stuck in a climbing log and ended up with a bit of a prolapsed rectum as well as some other things (including an infertile egg that needed removing, which side note is that normal for a cornsnake that isn’t being and hasn’t been bred to lay eggs?). And long story short she’s now getting antibiotic shots to help her out.

So my question is because she’s had this tendency to get these prolapsed, she always ends up with some of her substrate stuck on her vent area. I have her on coconut fiber, eco earth, and it seems to just always stick there. When I handle her I try my best to wipe some off gently, but I’m wondering if that could potentially cause any problems/If I should move her onto something like paper towels for the time being so that can’t happen?

Thanks!!
