Good on you for trying to help this animal out.
I'm glad the snake ate, but I would have waited til after the vet appointment, as the stress of moving the snake may cause a regurge this snake DEFINITELY doesn't need.
My two cents: just let the animal be until after the vet appt. See what the vet says and share that info on here. Unfortunately, many vets see exotics, but know little more than basics they've read in books. However, theyre access to labwork is invaluable and something we can't do without a vet. Hopefully you're lucky enough to have found one of the good ones.
There are some amazing people on this forum willing to share decades of knowledge and experience with thousands upon thousands of snakes. You've found a great place to learn.
Good luck and keep us posted.
Oh... I would also stick to paper towels until you know the animal is healthy. Also, ease into feedings (as far as prey size and frequency) you want to get this guy healthy again, but don't rush it.
