Hi and welcome

Keep her under observation and if things get worse then contact a vet on Monday for an appointment next week. If the itchiness is parasite related, things will be come clearer and identifiable over the coming days - and only then a vet can really step in.

Place a bowl of steaming water next to the cage and see whether it eases the breathing.
