Shes still walking around & is very curious & alert but shes having a hard time putting pressure on those 2 legs & occasionally gets spams & falls over. please help.

Poor Piper! She may have injured her back while playing and slipping in the tub. If she is still having a difficult time walking then she should be examined by a vet for treatment. She may need an anti-inflammatory, muscle relaxer, and/or pain medication.
