looses her balance when jumping up on things.. and walking

Could be a side effect of the meds or another issue.

First thing that should be done is call your Vet and tell him/her what has been happening to your baby!!

All the best!!

Yes I had a kitten born with this. Couldn't really walk too well just rolled over and over trying to get her balance. Dispite the the condition she was the first to walk, run and climb. She is also very hyper. She eventually came out of it and got back to normal. I was just about at the point where I thought I had to euthanize her but she got better! I will post pictures later.
I think if you give it some time she will get better too. Usually it dosen't last a really long time and most of the time we don't know why it happens.
