So, I'm an over protective Squammy.
Zipporah had aspiration pneumonia. Treated with cipro (still dosing) and much better. She ate the most she has ever eaten today at our 11 o clock feeding. She nibbled her first HHB! However, she now appears to have a big belly and would only take 3 mls and 5 mls later in the day. She has been eating around 7-9mls.

Should i be concerned about a gassy stomach? Anyone have advice or concern? Am I to wait and see how she is in the morning? She is her normal self otherwise.

Posting a pic of her belly might be helpful. Does her belly feel hard when you touch it? Is it squishy like a water balloon?

Soft. Not watery or sloshy. She has pottied well all day. She isn't showing any signs of distress. She is curled up with her brother asleep. I think I over fed her..... Bad Squammy.

She seems better this morning. Ate her correct amount. Still not as active as her brother since the pneumonia.
