I bathed the dog a few days ago; after that its hind legs were unsteady, and it’s been like this for days. Today it keeps falling and cries out.

Unsteady walking and falling usually aren't from bathing. In puppies it's often nutritional bone-development issues; in seniors it may be arthritis or neurological problems. Hypoglycemia also causes this. See a vet.

In growing dogs it can affect bone and joint development, causing limb deformity and poor posture. Give enough rest.
