Do you have a muzzle for Snowden? If not, I would get one for her, then take her into the vet to get sedated to have her safely examined. I would also recommend having injectable medications given to treat her problems, like Convenia (a long acting antibiotic shot) so you don't have to worry about giving her pills.
