Orange Tongue And Inside Of Mouth After Appendix Removal. Reason?

My great aunt just had her appendix removed on Saturday. Today her tongue and the inside of her mouth is orange - what could cause that? Also, her stomach is distended and I know that is from surgery and the gas the doctors had to use to "blow up" her abdomen to do surgery. I think that is normal but the tongue situation has us concerned.... Her doctor said he had never seen that before.... Thanks
