Hiccups should pass on their own so long as she hasn't accidentally inhaled any milk. As far as the bloating this could also pass on It's own potentially. Give it a few hours to see. If it doesn't and she appears to be in pain or distress it may require some attention. Drugs like gas-x and metoclopramide are both useful in these instances. In severe cases Veterianry attentiom will be required. Hope this makes sense.
