I’m so sorry that Blaze is having trouble. It sounds like you need to take her to the vet. It may be that she has an orthopedic (bone or muscle) problem, or the problem maybe related to a neurological problem in her brain or spinal cord if it seems that her balance is off. If sounds like she may be painful, so please take her to your vet. They can help you determine what steps may be needed to find out what’s wrong, and at the very least can offer some pain medication to make her more comfortable. Best of luck with her.
