Swollen Lips

[Tortoise7]

Hi
This has just happened, but my marble molly lips are swollen, abit like mick jagger lips, sorry couldn't think of another way to discribe it. She doesn't look like gasping for air. I have just tested the water and it is perfect, what could it be?
Regards she is not looking very well and is up the top of the tank

Thankyou loraxchick, this morning her lips seem to have gone down, she was first in line for food, very peculiar. Could it have been cotton mouth? I did look at that myself but she did not have a cotton wool look or any blisters, just swollen lips, any other suggestions?
Thanks

Difficult to say exactly what the cause is. could be bullying even, or injury or disease.
I would just do a few extra watechanges this week and keep an eye on her.
glad shes looking better
cheers
