Wagging tail, gaping vent and peeing are all things that my BP females do when they are very interested. Perhaps you could try to pair her again?

Perhaps the issue was Gerald and even though he seemed interested, maybe he just didn't figure things out?

As to the feeding issue, I know they use different senses to locate and identify prey. Those senses are all located in the head/face. Nostrils for scent, heat pits for heat signature and the Jacobson organ.

Could it be that her facial swelling and injury is tampering with those senses ? If the swelling is on her face/lips, could it pinch of her nostrils internally, enough to make it hard for her to "smell" the prey?

Could the heat pits be compromised as well, as they are quite the intricate structures internally. Perhaps she just doesn't recognize prey, or it confuses her because it doesn't seem to be "right".

Perhaps you could try to make her prey a little hotter then usually and also quite stinky. Like male mouse bedding stinky. Something really rank and penetrating.

I know that when my nose and sinuses are swollen, I can only smell really strong scents.

Once again, those are really far out ideas and thoughts. And I know you are so frustrated that right now even reading about ideas and thoughts of others may just be stressful.
I have a horse with some health issues and some strange symptoms that go along. I have researched it to death, tried everything there is to try, had hopes, had hopes dashed. Again and again. Each time I talk to people about it they have questions and suggestions. Many of which I have tried or know won't work, because of knowing my animal and the circumstances. Each time it all has to be explained all over again. It can get exhausting, even though I know its well meaning and I appreciate that. So I understand. If it gets to be to much, just tell me to stop, and I will. I understand what you are going through.

Ultimately, its your animal. You know her better then anyone else. You know what you've tried and done. I hope she just starts eating for you and things will calm down. If not, its clear you love her enough to make a decision that is in her and your best interest, whatever that ends up being.
