There are a couple of things that could be wrong with Snowy. The black chin could be due to feline acne. The inability to meow could be due to a respiratory infection. The grinding of the teeth could be due to pain or a dental problem. I would have her seen by a vet in the morning for this myriad of problems. Best of luck.
