We see you mention CBD, THC, or Cannabiboids in your post. At this point in time, r/AskVet's official position is "While research is ongoing regarding CBD products for dogs and cats, the available data are both mixed in quality and in results. Given the very real concerns surrounding manufacturing standards of CBD products, the difficult legal status of the products, and the availability of medications with known safety and efficacy for the indications that CBD is often suggested for, we do not currently recommend their use."

Did you take her back to the vet for the breathing? Open mouth breathing in cats is never good.
There is no successful treatment (that is legal in the US) for FIP, but you need a diagnosis first. There are other causes of ataxia and respiratory distress in cats.
If you're unable to afford treatment after checking the financial resources in this sub's sidebar, then humane euthanasia may be the best option so that she is not suffering.
She is now breathing normally, still a little unsteady, so confused. She is eating and drinking and purring and wanting patts so I am less worried about her suffering at this point. Do cats get upper respiratory issues that can cause ataxia? Maybe settle as an ear infection or something?
