Snake trauma!

I'm really worried about my cornsnake Pumpkin. She's your average red color from some farm breeder but my girlfriend and I have gotten very attached to her;our first snake.
I fed her today and she tried to squeeze through a crack between a door on a birdhouse and the house itself (birdhouse is in her tank). Picture a drawbridge for the door. I noticed she was struggling and thought she was trying to go under the house, so I picked it up but she wasn't under it SHE HAD TRIED TO GO IN THROUGH THE CRACK. The way I had picked up the house made the crack even tighter and turned her. It was squeezing her so tight that she couldn't get through with her food bulge. In a panic I ripped off the door and she crawled into a hut after probably scared out of her mind.
I didn't see any blood but the crack was very tight jn the first place and then I pinched her even more like getting your finger in a door jamb. I'm worried about internal injuries. Is there anything I can do?
