Kinetic sand is non toxic. A small amount should pass uneventfully as you've seen. A larger amount ingested at once can pose a risk of gastric or intestinal obstruction. Monitor for lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite or abdominal pain. These are symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian. Restrict access to the room it is in or place it out of her reach when she is around.
