Here's a thought.... find a vet who treats exotic animals?

No, the water is definetly not too hot.
I took her out and held her and she closed her mouth. It is not time for them to eat, they will get extremely bloated because I am having them on a diet and they can only eat at certain times so they do not get bloated. She lives in the water so they do not drink, they soak up water through their skin and she is in the water at all times, so if that is how you want to say it, yes she does drink  She is acting fine and I see nothing wrong besides her mouth being open. She is getting oxegen and there are no vets around here that specialize in amphibians. I don't know what to do or what is wrong

you should get a test kit so you can check the water he is in.
even look up a basic caresheet on the firebelly newt. is the tank filtered? how big is it? how often do you clean it? do you de chlorinate the water? the list of questions to really help you out are endless. you NEED a test kit
