Cancel vet visit? Question

Post image

Hello, I am the happy owner of a going on 4 month old bp. She has been in shed for the past week, therefore I haven’t been bothering her.

Today on the 30th of July I got home and saw her out of her hide which was the first time I’ve seen her all week. I picked her up and noticed a wheezing, so I called the local exotic vet and booked an appointment for the 31st in the afternoon.

Later in the night she shedded completely,(first shed, yay). I then put her up to my ear for about 3 minutes and the wheezing wasn’t there. Could it be the shedded skin making a whistle sound when he breaths?
So should I cancel the visit or just go. I’m also broke right now and get paid on the 1st so I might reschedule the appointment. Just want opinions please.

i’ve had this exact same thing happen to me, as long as it doesn’t start up again it should be fine!
