Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about E Pocket. I'm concerned about her breathing as well, and that suggest her trachea issue is getting worse. I would be worried, like you, if she is getting enough air, and the fact that she doesn't want to get up to eat or go to the bathroom tells me something is really wrong. I would take her into a vet immediately. Best of luck.
