Slightly Confused
I've been a bp owner for about a year now, with a 2 y/o spider. In the last 2 weeks, shes had a wheezing / whining sound when she exhales. I took her to the vet to get inspected, yet everything was clear. The vet was a herp specialist, and still didnt notice anything odd. I haven't seen mucus or anything that leads to an RI. She eats like a champ every 6 day! I'm just really confused on what to do at this point.

Did she just shed? She may have a stuck nostril shed.

You may need to get a second opinion. Vets make mistake like regular doctors do!

They sometimes whistle through their nostrils. I have one that makes no sound when out handling but after a wile starts to wiffle for lack of a better word she has done this for a long while and past two vet visits as well (double consult once) as she was up to her antics in the office. If you have checked for ri and everything is fine and you are confident of that it my just be heavy exhale noises.

I agree with Swingline, get a second opinion. But it does sound like it could be the beginning of RI.

Hmm, it sounds like it could be the beginning of an RI. The vet might not be that much of an expert and missed the beginning signs. Trust me, I've met my fair share of "herp experts" even vets... I would bump up temps for now, but as soon as you see mucus get back to the vet and don't leave without the proper meds.
