You may have just startled it.

Sometimes it just happens.. If they're excited or agitated they can breath heavy.. Not quite hissing but sounds similar. Has she recently shed?

No she hasnt recently shed and she only did it once I kinda dont think it was an aggression thing because she really never missed a beat with what she was doing

Probably just a loud exhale then, nothing to worry about unless she keeps doing it.

Sounds like a loud exhale nothing to worry about unless its happening alot which could indicate a respritory infection
