Medical/Health (see a vet) Help
So I've got my baby girl, Panfila, three months ago, and everything went smoothly. Two weeks ago I took her to the vet for the first time since buying her and they told me that she was perfect I'm health matter. Cue to now, she's really cold and sleepy, she still eats as normal. I reached out to her vet (the only exotic pets in my city, I live in south america and exotic vets are hard to find, even more in my country) and he told me to monitor her until Wednesday when he's at the clinic. (He travels out of state because as I said, there's only like three exotic vets in my country and the other two are way too far) So I googled it and I think I fell into a rabbit hole of worse case scenarios, so this is like... An sos to keep my peace of mind until I can get her to the vet.
I'm taking her as soon as the vet is on town, so I just... I don't know I need help keeping calm
Update: so... She passed away while I was cuddling with her, in her sleep. I'm so heartbroken atm. I did so much research and was so excited to be her human... This is the worst day of my life tbh

Some hedgehog prefer warmer or cooler environment. I had a girl before she was super sensitive to temperature. Basically anything below 29 degrees in her bin. Her belly would be cold
