Poor Orea! This is really concerning and I am really worried that she cannot walk straight. There are several things that can cause this like anti-freeze toxicity, spinal issues, bacterial infections, and much more. I would have your vet take a look at her as soon as possible as this could be a medical emergency. Your vet will be able to do bloodwork and even x-rays if needed and get her started on the proper treatment plan to help her feel better. I hope this helps!
