Hello. I would take this as a day by day. Pixie may have a little cold, but if she is acting & eating well, it may just need to run its course. I would definitely keep your appointment on Friday, but if she does still have a cold, your vet may put off any vaccinations for a few days longer. However, if Pixie should become lethargic, stop eating, act feverish, or sound wheezy or congested, then see your vet immediately. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
