So, if I read this right, he's on steroids and they couldn't find anything wrong with him?

Usually steroids are prescribed for not a diagnosis, but to just temporarily relieve the symptoms. I know radio graphs were done, did the specialist make sure his spine is okay, or make sure that there's no pinching of nerves??

I know I, granted I'm a human, have a bone abnormality in my right shoulder, that if I put pressure on it, I pinch a nerve in my lungs which causes labored breathing, so I'm just wondering if there's maybe something like that going on in his back.

I"m not a vet or vet tech, but steroids will simply relieve the symptoms temporarily. They aren't a diagnosis. I'm glad his feelings better, but if he's never done this before then I think something may be going on.

Can you maybe see another specialist?

Please keep us updated.
