yeah its not alays lopsided even thoug that's how the books and web sites always desribe it
if she's floating in any funny way it could be a respitory infection or even pneumonia. i have ayoung map and slide now who both have a respitorty infection (and are being treated) which float sort of to the right and to the back,, not exactly "lopsided" but defintely not normal.Its time for the vet if it goes on more than a few days.
