Ariel sounds very sick, and I would consider this a medical emergency. She could have a systemic illness, infection, or injury causing her problems. She needs to see a vet now. Please take her into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.
