you are doing well..while penicillin is not ideal for pneumonia it is better than no antibioitc at all...it may take a bit longer to see her 100%...be sure to give it 2 timess a day for 10 days...this is 1 cc per 20#.SUB Q...
I would be giving the b complex once daily...keep watch on the temp..keep her hydrated...
Be sure to give probiotics when treatment is complete to help restore flora...I like to give it a few hours after each shot of antibioitcs just to keep things going..

Homemade Electrolytes
A half gallon of hot water
2-6 Tablespoons of Unsulphured Blackstrap Molasses
1-2 Tablespoons of Either Sea Salt, Epsom Salt, Baking Soda or Table Salt.
1 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar


Mix well and drench or let them drink it

with her temp being with in normal range, I would stop the aspirin
I would also switch from the B gel to injectable..it works better and will help increase her desire to eat...
Give pepto for the runs, no grain until she is dry...Keep hay/alfalfa in front of her at all times along with the electrolyte and plain water..

if her poop is dark brown to black could be worms, greenish tint could be dietary...it could also be from the meds...If they are super watery I would be giving cd antitoxin every 6 hours until they begin to thicken up and she is back to eating normal..
