I'm sorry, its a little hard to understand your question. What I am understanding is that she ate something with cotton in it. She can poop. She is not vomiting and she is not having diarrhea. Is that correct? If I understand correctly, and if she is still eating, then I would just monitor her at home for the next few days. If she does start vomiting or she does not want to eat, or she seems painful or lethargic, please take her to your vet. In the meantime, feed her a bland diet (such as boiled chicken and white rice) and just keep a close eye on her. I hope thats helpful. If I misunderstood you, please repost and clarify what the problem is. Thank you for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
