Why is my 4-month Akita puppy stumbling and struggling to stand?

Question

I have a 4 month old American akita. We flew her from ukrain and for now she’s at home in an apartment but we will move her to a house with a huge gardens and plenty space to run and play. Problem is that since she arrived we noticed that while walking she stumbles on her front feet and almost falls. And also it’s hard for her to get on her feet sometimes. Her bones kinda feel and look weird but im not sure. What can it be? Please help. Pet's info: Dog | Akita | Female | unspayed | 4 months and 14 days old | 15 lbs

Yoko should be examined by the veterinarian. She could have a developmental bone abnormality or a spinal condition. Infections in the nervous system and certain types of parasites can also cause these clinical signs. The doctor will get a better idea from the exam and may recommend some testing. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
