Turn her over so any fluid can run out of lungs and nose...listen closely in the next day for clicking in her chest/lungs.
Keep her warm and unstressed.

she is trying to go to sleep now is this good?

Sleeping is good. :) Just keep an ear alert for a clicking from the chest. Clicking in the nose is uncomfortable but not dangerous but clicking form the lungs is dangerous.

how to i tell it does seem like she is hacking is this the sound or is that normal?

[rippie-n-lilgirlsmom]

It will sound like a ticking noise in her check.

Check an make sure the airway is clear, too.

Casey - it sounds like she may have breathed formula into her lungs (aspirated). Did you hold her upside down and allow any formula to drain out? Did any drain out? Sometimes aspirated formula will cause pneumonia - the symptom will be a clicking sound as she breathes. That clicking sound will not happen right off the bat - so listen and watch her carefully over the next several days.

If pneumonia does start you will have to get her on Baytril and / or other antibiotic rapidly - this stuff almost always appears to happen on a Friday afternoon :shakehead :shakehead :shakehead

Keep us posted - many people far more experienced than me are here to help.
