You need to see a vet. But in the mean time, but her in the shower (turn the head to it hits the side of the shower, so she only gets hit with the mist). The will help. Many times, imports come in in poor shape and dehydrated and stressed, and the shower will solve that. If her eyes aren't swollen or infected, maybe there is something wrong, as I know in imported quads, if they are unhappy, they close their eyes and go on a hunger strike until the problem ,as subtle as it may be, is fixed. One keeper had an imported female come in, who wouldn't open her eyes for 3 weeks. He put her in the shower and kept her warm and humid, and low and behold she came out of it. As for the black mouth, my melleri do not have black mouths. Either way, she needs a vet. But keep her very well hydrated and keep offering food. Go to yahoo.com and search for the melleri group. Become a member and there are dozens of melleri experts there to help you out. Also go to www.melleridiscovery.com . THis website corresponds with the group on yahoo. Good luck.
