    Default How likely is pneumonia to hit

    Hi I’m curious how guaranteed is it that your 3 to 4 week old chipmunk would catch pneumonia if it aspirated a couple times due to bad sticky syringe catching then releasing to much formula? And if so can I use homeopathics to cure it and if so what kind thanks

    It doesn't always cause Ap but usually it can be likely.
    It all depends on if what they "choked on" went to their lungs.
    The only thing that is going to cure Ap is antibiotics.
